The investigator, in consultation with the chief audit executive, will determine the appropriate reporting format for all investigations conducted by the Office of Internal Audit.
Formats may include oral reports or written memoranda, letters or written reports. The draft report, in whatever format, may be discussed with the general counsel and any other appropriate university personnel.
The report may include recommendations for management; however, recommendations and formal management responses are not required in all cases. Final reports are distributed to the person or parties directly involved in the case and, as appropriate, to other university officials (president, provost, etc.). No case is closed without the approval of the chief audit executive or their designee.
