Internal Audit

The Internal Audit Department serves as a resource to management in providing special reviews focusing on financial, operational, contractual, or regulatory compliance. To accomplish this purpose, a portion of the annual audit budget is set aside specifically for audits and reviews initiated through special management requests. Examples of areas of assistance include: claim file review, annual Broker Cost Statement Certification for MTP, print vendor controls over fare instruments, and reviews of various policies and procedures.
