Internal Audit Findings for KIS 2013/14 KIS Briefing | 2014 | 12 Low risk overall BUT Inconsistencies were noted around the reviews performed across the University’s departments/faculties to ensure that the KIS data is aligned to the module specifications published on the University website.

Internal Audit Recommendation KIS Briefing | 2014 | 13 A consistent approach is undertaken across the University to regularly monitor that these two sources (AIS and module handbooks) of information are aligned, establishing a consistent minimum level of review to be applied by all Faculties and Departments. Individual areas may then apply further review on a risk and materiality basis.
