The Audit Committee reviews audit reports prepared by the Quality Council Auditors and makes recommendations to the Quality Council.  The audit report describes whether the university has, since its last review, acted in compliance with the provisions of its Institutional Quality Assurance Process (IQAP). The Audit Committee consists of a panel of auditors who are voting members,  two of whom are selected Chair and Vice-Chair. The Executive Director, Quality Assurance, is a non-voting ex-officio member. (For more details, see Terms of Reference for the Audit Committee.) If an auditor is involved in an audit that is under review by the Audit Committee, he or she does not participate in making a recommendation to the Quality Council.
