Areas of responsibility
Internal audit
On behalf of the university's management, the Internal Audit staff office monitors and advises the university’s institutions under consideration of the principles of efficiency and economy with an aim to improving the university’s performance. The Internal Audit also monitors for compliance with legal norms and other relevant provisions.
During audits of the Regional Court of Audit of the state of Baden-Württemberg and the audit offices subordinate to it, the Internal Audit coordinates the requests, accompanies the surveys on site, evaluates the audit report and requests the statements.
Other tasks which fall within the remit of the Internal Audit include supervising the cash desk, monitoring the offices receiving payments and the petty cash as well as the financial relationships with associated institutes of the university.
The Internal Audit is independent and has a full right to information when carrying out its auditing duties.
