About the office
The mission of University Internal Audit (IA) at Cal State LA is to support university management and its auxiliaries in establishing a robust control environment and making informed decisions regarding university resources, both financial and non-financial. Through operational, compliance, and internal reviews, IA provides objective and independent insights into university activities, evaluates the effectiveness of procedures, and assesses the adequacy of internal controls.
Internal Audit serves as the campus liaison for audits, reviews, and investigations conducted by the Chancellor’s Office Audit & Advisory Services (A&AS) and external agencies, such as the California State Auditor and the State Controller’s Office. In this capacity, IA assists campus departments by:
- Responding to internal control questionnaires.
- Reviewing draft reports for accuracy.
- Assisting management in developing corrective action plans to address recommendations.
- Reviewing and monitoring the implementation of corrective action plans.
