5200-Training And Professional Development

 

General

Each internal auditor is responsible for maintaining an adequate level of technical competence and proficiency in a business, data processing and University environment that is in a continuous state of evolution.

 

Each auditor should possess a body of specialized knowledge and should maintain a recognized, continuous process of education in order to sustain continuous professional growth in the field of Internal Auditing. In compliance with the requirements established by the Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing of the Institute of Internal Auditors and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the auditor will complete every three years 150 hours of continuing professional education.  Every two years, at least 80 of the 150 hours of continuing education subjects have to be directly related to the government environment and to government auditing.  The internal auditor will attend seminars and training as deemed appropriate.
