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 | 13

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.
