Internal Audit Team

Ensuring Accountability, Promoting Transparency, and Strengthening Governance

Our History & Evolution

From Financial Oversight to Comprehensive Audit Excellence

The Internal Audit Team at Injibara Polytechnic College was originally established as part of the college's commitment to financial accountability and transparency. Initially focused on basic financial oversight, the team has evolved significantly over the years to encompass comprehensive risk management and governance evaluation.

Based on regulatory requirements and the college's growth, the Internal Audit function was formally restructured into a dedicated team with expanded responsibilities. This reorganization allowed the team to better serve the college's governance framework by providing independent and objective assurance and consulting services designed to add value and improve the college's operations.

Today, the team continues to evolve, focusing on modern audit techniques, risk-based auditing, and providing strategic insights to support the college's mission of excellence in technical and vocational education while ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
