Internal Audit

The Office of Internal Audit provides independent, objective assurance and consulting services designed to add value and improve City Colleges of Chicago's operations.

Purpose of Internal Audit

The purpose of Internal Audit is to provide independent and objective assurance and advice designed to enhance and protect organizational value. Internal Audit supports the organization by evaluating and improving the effectiveness of governance, risk management, and internal control processes. Through systematic and disciplined assessments, Internal Audit offers insights, recommendations, and perspectives that strengthen decision‑making, promote accountability, and help the organization achieve its strategic and operational objectives. To accomplish this purpose, any and all institutional activities are subject to internal audit review.

Authority

CCC’s internal audit function mandate is found in the Board Bylaws. Internal Audit’s authority is created by its direct reporting relationship to the City Colleges of Chicago Board of Trustees.

The CCC Board of Trustees authorizes the internal audit function to have full, free and unrestricted access to all of the District’s functions, records, files and information systems, personnel, contractors, external auditors, physical properties, rental locations, and any other item relevant to the function, process or department under review.
