<section><p class="heading jdMain">Job Description</p><p class="heading">Roles &amp; Responsibilities</p><div class="paragraph"><p><strong>Position:</strong> Director of Internal Audit</p><p><strong>Classification:</strong> Director</p><p><strong>Reports To:</strong> Functional reporting to the Audit &amp; Risk Committee if the BoT and Administrative to the President.</p><p><strong>Department Profile</strong></p><p>The Office of Internal Audit is an independent, objective assurance and advisory function. Its purpose is not to find fault it is to give AIU's leadership and Board the confidence that the institution's operations, processes, and controls are functioning as intended and are fit for the purposes the RISE Strategy demands. Where they are not, the Director identifies the gap, quantifies the risk, and recommends practical, implementable improvements. Critically, AIU's internal audit function focuses on operational and process assurance not financial audit. Financial auditing is conducted by AIU's independently appointed external auditor. The Director of Internal Audit does not duplicate that work. Instead, this role covers the institutional territory that financial auditors do not: academic process integrity, HR and procurement process compliance, IT governance, student affairs operations, research grant management, and the operational evidence that WASC accreditation requires.</p><p><strong>Scope of Work</strong></p><p>The Director of Internal Audit provides independent, risk-based operational assurance across all institutional functions. Using a structured annual audit plan approved by the Board Audit &amp; Risk Committee, the Director examines whether AIU's processes, controls, and governance mechanisms are working as intended identifying risks, recommending improvements, and tracking implementation of corrective actions. The scope spans five operational domains:</p><ul><li><strong>Operational Process Audit:</strong> Systematic review of institutional workflows and operating procedures from student admissions to faculty evaluation assessing whether processes are efficient, consistently followed, and producing intended outcomes.</li><li><strong>Governance &amp; Compliance Audit:</strong> Assessment of whether AIU's governance structures, Board policies, and institutional policies are being implemented as written with particular focus on the policies required for WSCUC accreditation.</li><li><strong>Risk Management:</strong> Identification, assessment, and monitoring of institutional operational risks developing and maintaining AIU's risk register, advising the President and Board on emerging risks, and recommending mitigation measures.</li><li><strong>Academic &amp; Research Integrity Audit:</strong> Process-level review of academic operations curriculum delivery, assessment practices, research grant compliance, faculty performance documentation, and accreditation evidence management to confirm that stated practices are actual practices.</li><li><strong>Special Investigations &amp; Advisory:</strong> Conducting investigations into reported irregularities, process failures, or governance concerns and providing advisory support to institutional leaders on internal control design, policy development, and risk mitigation.</li></ul><p><strong>Key Responsibilities</strong></p><p><strong>Audit Planning and Annual Audit Programme</strong></p><ul><li>Develop, maintain, and execute a risk-based Annual Audit Plan covering all significant institutional operational areas approved by the Board Audit &amp;
