Office of the Internal Auditor

Internal Audit operates as a forward-looking, consultative function that helps Howard University anticipate and address risks proactively, enabling business and process improvements and supporting the viability of University operations. We serve as a strategic partner to Howard University’s leadership in addressing a range of business, operational, compliance, and financial challenges and risks, providing assurance regarding processes and systems, and identifying opportunities to increase efficiency and effectiveness.  We also partner closely with the Assistant Vice President for Risk Management and the Chief Compliance Officer to monitor and mitigate University risks.
