About Us

Mission

The mission of the Office of Internal Audit (OIA) at California State University San Marcos is to provide independent and objective assurance and consulting services that protect, add value, and strengthen management and oversight of the university and its auxiliaries.

Authority

To learn more about the authority and responsibility of the OIA, refer to the audit charter. An audit charter is a formal document that describes an audit department's purpose, reporting structure, authority, and responsibility. This charter also defines others' responsibility for providing access and cooperation during assurance, consulting services, or other review types.

Services

OIA takes on various roles and provides different services, including conducting independent internal audits, coordinating external audits, and serving as campus contact for reporting suspected fiscal improprieties. Refer to Audit Support page on how we can best support you.
