UWI Audit Testimonials
“Over the last 10 years, I have had the support of and have collaborated with The UWI Internal Audit Function at both regional and Campus levels. They have been consistent in pursuit of establishing good governance practices. Outside of their core audit function, they have been engaging staff with training to build risk awareness, and in some instances advisory support to progress good practices, and so help build overall value for our UWI. “
Mrs. Deborah Souza-Okpofabri
Office of the Campus Registrar The University of the West Indies St. Augustine Campus
“My experience with Internal Audit has definitely helped me to better appreciate their role in our department’s success. While very demanding at times, their interactions with Campus IT Services have been very professional and rewarding. Their partner approach instead of an aggressive watchdog one, has assisted us in identifying and appropriately responding to critical IT-related business risks”
Mr. Clint Hurley
Manager, Network Services Campus IT Services The University of the West Indies – Cave Hill Campus
“UWI Audit is a key input to the efficient management and operations of Departments within my portfolio. The Audits conducted by the Department flag many important issues that currently are or could impact on the Department. More importantly, however, they help me to build a plan to address these issues. I have found the Management Action Plans to be a key resource to help focus on the long term strategic goals of the Department.”
Mr. Winston Moore
Deputy Principal The University of the West Indies Cave Hill Campus
