Cabinet of the Chairperson

The Office of Internal Audit (OIA) is the AU’s internal oversight body for ensuring the AU rules and procedures in place are effective. Its role is to undertake internal audits, investigations and advisory services, including inspections, as well as evaluations of the adequacy and effectiveness of internal control systems and operational activities.

The OIA is mandated to provide oversight coverage of all AU activities. This includes preparing and implementing auditing programmes and liaising with external auditors.

The OIA issues annual and periodic reports and makes recommendations aimed at improving internal control and organisational efficiency and effectiveness. It submits reports on each activity audited to the Chairperson of the Commission. The Office also submits quarterly and periodic audit reports containing budget performance information to the AU Permanent Representatives Committee (PRC) Sub-Committee on Audit Matters.
