Audit Risk Assessment

Welcome to the home page of the Audit and Risk Assessment Team at the University of Western Sydney.

The Audit and Risk Assessment Team provides the University with internal audit and risk assessment services. It operates under a formal charter approved by the Board of Trustees and reports to the DVC, Corporate Strategy and Services.

The team undertakes a variety of auditing work in addition to traditional financial-based audits. It reviews the efficiency and effectiveness of operations and the management of IT systems. It also assesses the organisation's response to ethical issues.

The team maintains a profile of strategic and operational risks to the University.

The risk profile helps to improve the effectiveness of the University's risk management activities by raising staff awareness and identifying areas where an integrated response to risk is required.

Because of its independent status the Audit and Risk Assessment Team is well placed to provide management and senior executives with impartial reports on risk and the state of various University operations.
