Audits and advisory assignments are planned and carried out at the request of or in consultation with the Executive Board and other clients within the university. Audit topics are included in the IAD annual plan approved by the Executive Board.
What does the IAD do?
- Performing audits and advisory assignments in various areas of Radboud University such as strategic issues, operational processes, information technology, finance, legal and regulatory compliance, etc;
