Internal Audit Findings for KIS 2013/14
• Low risk overall
BUT
Inconsistencies were noted around the reviews performed
across the University’s departments/faculties to ensure that
the KIS data is aligned to the module specifications
published on the University website.
KIS Briefing | 2014 | 12
Internal Audit Recommendation
A consistent approach is undertaken across the University to
regularly monitor that these two sources (AIS and module
handbooks) of information are aligned, establishing a
consistent minimum level of review to be applied by all
Faculties and Departments.
Individual areas may then apply further review on a risk and
materiality basis.
KIS Briefing | 2014 | 13
