Internal Audit

The mission of the MOSERS Office of Internal Audit is to provide independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve the organization's operations. Internal auditing helps an organization accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes.

Chief Auditor

The chief auditor, except as otherwise noted in the Governance Manual, is subject to the executive director's management authority and has no other access to the Board. The MOSERS Board of Trustees has established an Audit Committee Charter to assist them in fulfilling their responsibilities for the financial reporting process, the system of internal control, the audit process, risk management practices, and the prevention and detection of fraud.
