Our Audit Assurance service performs the internal audit function within Strategic and Governance Services. Our role is to provide an independent assurance function to ECU with the objective of continuously improving the effectiveness of internal control and governance processes within ECU.
Our functions involve the performance of consultative compliance, operational and financial reviews over various University processes and activities with the aim of identifying business improvement opportunities to enhance management control processes.
We also provide client-focused advice to the ECU community, participation on consultative committees with a focus on education and training to raise the awareness of control, compliance and risk management within the University environment.
Through these activities we proactively seek to add maximum value to ECU’s schools and service centres.

It describes how the internal audit function (‘Internal Audit’) within the Strategic and Governance Services Centre (‘SGSC’), will operate in order to meet its role in the corporate governance of Edith Cowan University (‘ECU’).
