ISSUE/BACKGROUND:
body
In accordance with the Office of Internal Audit and Compliance’s (OIAC) purpose established in its internal audit charter, the OIAC provides independent and objective assurance and consulting services designed to add value to RTA and improve its operations.
The nature of internal audit work requires that the OIAC has unrestricted access to all RTA financial, operational, and strategic information, activities, physical properties, personnel, and information systems. Because of the sensitivity of the information involved, the OIAC is responsible for the control, safeguarding, and security of communications and information in its possession, whether created or acquired.
end
DISCUSSION:
Dissemination of audit communications and information should be strictly prohibited except where allowed, to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the agency and the Office of Internal Audit and Compliance, and to ensure compliance with the professional standards of the Institute of Internal Auditors relating to ethics, integrity, and confidentiality.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None
NEXT STEPS:
With board approval, the confidentiality policy will be placed on the intranet for immediate access by all employees.
