As an instrument of the Executive Board, the Department of Internal Audit & Compliance provides independent and unbiased auditing and consulting services aimed at creating added value and improving business processes. It supports the organization in achieving its goals by using a systematic and targeted approach to evaluate the effectiveness of risk management, internal controls, and management and monitoring processes, and helps to improve them.
Internal auditing is performed according to professional standards. The Department fulfills its duties autonomously and indipendently. It has no authority to issue directives to operational units, but rather sees itself in a supporting and incentive role.
The Department of Internal Audit & Compliance of UKB is a member of the German Institute of Internal Auditors (DIIR). The founding principles of the Department are based on international standards of the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) and on its Code of Ethics for Professional Practice.
Auditing services
As part of its annual auditing programm, the Department examines internal processes, procedures, and structures, and verifies if they adhere to UKB´s compliance regulations on the one hand, and to expediency and efficiency criteria on the other, and detects irregularities.
The primary purpose of auditing consists in safeguarding the assets of the organization. To achieve this scope, the auditing program of the Department puts particular focus on mitigating and reducing existing risks.
The monitoring of internal processes often overlaps with daily activities of the hospital´s operational units. Such units perform defined and indipendent tasks, which fall within the framework of the internal control system and are aimed at enrusing conformity with UKB´s regulations.
Consulting services
The Department also sees itself as an internal service provider and an unbiased management consultant. It also offers a target-oriented cooperation and consulting services to all operational units of the hospital. In this regard, the Department is actively engaged in developing optimization recommendations based on its wide interdisciplinary knowledge of various business processes.
With its value-based approach the Department aims at ensuring the effectiveness of internal processes, at improving the efficiency of singular process flows, and at achieving the highest prossible standardization.
Guaranteeing effectiveness in this context also means taking into account the underlying systems and the overall interrelationships-network of the organization - including the current principles and procedures for duties separation - so that a continuous further development of the internal control system at UKB can be achieved.
