The SCC’s Office of Internal Audit serves as an advisory function at the Commission
providing independent and objective assurance and consulting services. The goal
of the internal audit program is to help the Commission accomplish its objectives
by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness
of risk management, control and the governance process. The Office of Internal Audit
provides this assistance through:
- Independent reviews of financial, operational, and information systems to evaluate
whether resources are utilized in accordance with the Commission’s mission and goals;
- Special projects in partnership with management to develop systems and processes
that are effective and efficient; and
- Education and training for employees regarding the need for and characteristics
of appropriate systems control.
