Audit

Efficiency and Accountability

The Internal Audit Department is established as an independent appraisal function within the University System for the review of operations as a service to management. Internal auditing strengthens the Nevada System of Higher Education’s ability to create, protect, and sustain value by providing the Board of Regents and management with independent, risk-based, and objective assurance, insight, and foresight.

Nevada System of Higher Education is an organization with strong values of responsibility and integrity. Our Board of Regents Handbook contains general guidelines for conducting business with the highest standards of ethics.

We encourage NSHE constituents to submit reports relating to violations stated in our Board of Regents Handbook.

We are currently working on an update to the reporting process. In the meantime, to report Board of Regents Handbook violations or policies and procedure concerns, please submit information or any questions to incidentreport@nshe.nevada.edu.
