Internal Audit Services

Internal auditing is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve the operations of Tyler ISD. It helps Tyler ISD accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of the organization’s governance, risk management, and internal control processes.

The Internal Audit Services department reports functionally to the Board of Trustees through the Audit Committee of the Board and administratively to the Superintendent. The annual audit plan is approved by the Board of Trustees. The Chief Audit Executive meets with the Audit Committee of the Board periodically to report on the activities of the Internal Audit Services department.
