Each quarter, UKIA hosts Lessons Learned, a virtual training event where UK Internal Audit shares information about actual incidents or activities that have occurred here at UK or at other institutions across the nation and discusses how to reduce the risks associated with these "hot topics."

UK Internal Audit’s (UKIA) authority stems from a University of Kentucky Board of Trustees' resolution dated April 1, 1941, which indicates that all financial affairs of the University of Kentucky must be monitored. UKIA was officially created in 1958. 

UKIA provides 10 different services to assist the University in achieving its fiduciary goals, including consulting services and training for UK units which help to ensure that programs both new and old operate as efficiently and effectively as possible.  Click here for a complete description of all the services UKIA offers.

UKIA’s experienced team of audit consultants review and analyze the accuracy and completeness of financial and IT records as well as the adequacy and appropriateness of departmental practices to provide reasonable assurance to the university that units are in compliance with all applicable policies, regulations, industry standards and laws. They are supported by a strong infrastructure team that assists the auditors by ensuring efficient processes and effective communication of audit results.

The Office of the President has developed a University COI Action Plan to ensure that all types of conflicts of interest (COI), including conflicts of commitment (COC) and foreign influence (FI), are disclosed and properly managed across the enterprise, from the highest levels in the administration to the departments and units located both on campus and throughout the Commonwealth.

As we conduct our reviews, we help our clients find ways to improve their operations. Often, this guidance can be useful to other units as well. Such tools can help with everything from asset management to reconciliations and more. Click here for a complete list, as well as links to other university resources.
