About the Internal Audit Department

The Internal Audit Department was established by the decision of the Scientific Council dated April 29, 2014.

The primary objective of the department is to ensure a unified approach to conducting internal audit and control activities. This includes identifying the conditions and causes of deficiencies detected in the functional areas of the university’s structures, determining existing legal and practical issues, and providing recommendations for their elimination as well as for the implementation of best practices. The department also offers operational and methodological assistance, verifies the accuracy of reported deficiencies in the activities of the university’s structures and individual employees, and undertakes appropriate actions based on the findings.

The department’s activities are structured around five main directions:

1. Ensuring the timely and adequate implementation of orders from the university leadership as well as organizational and regulatory documents mandated by legislation.
2. Verifying the accuracy and reliability of financial accounts.
3. Conducting special investigations as instructed by university leadership.
4. Establishing and improving the regulatory and methodological framework that governs the department’s activities and the control systems it implements.
5. Monitoring the university’s structural divisions to ensure the execution of tasks assigned to the department.

One of the department’s key responsibilities is to address reports, petitions, applications, and complaints received from citizens, governmental and non-governmental bodies, or other university structures regarding the actions or inactions of university staff. Measures are taken in accordance with legislation.

The department regularly collects information about violations of the requirements of normative legal acts and organizational documents by the university’s academic and administrative staff. Collected data is assessed to identify inconsistencies, eliminate causes and conditions leading to breaches of discipline, and ensure appropriate disciplinary measures are taken against employees.

The attendance of the university’s academic staff is monitored by the dispatchers of the Internal Audit Department. Any detected violations are promptly reported to the department online by the end of the day. The received data is analyzed and classified under four criteria: missed classes, substitutions, violations, and class consolidations. These records are entered into the department’s database, and the identified violations are grouped and analyzed.

In order to fulfill its assigned tasks, the Internal Audit Department frequently conducts inspections and monitoring in the university’s academic buildings. During these inspections, the compliance of academic and administrative staff with internal disciplinary regulations is thoroughly examined.
