THE ANNUAL PLAN  Both the UC Audit Plan and Campus Policy (PPM 10-11) provide that each campus will prepare an annual audit plan.  The scope of the UCSD plan encompasses all  activities including the general campus, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and the UCSD Healthcare Enterprise.  The plan is developed via a risk assessment performed by AMAS, with significant input provided by key management representatives.  The following materials are utilized in the annual planning process:

Audit Universe - Health Sciences

Once defined, the audit plan is presented to the Campus Audit Committee, and subsequently to the Chancellor for approval.  The approved audit plan is then forwarded to the University Auditor for inclusion in the UC Audit Plan presented to The Regents' Committee on Audit.

SUPPLEMENTAL AUDITS These special reviews are initiated based on requests received outside the annual planning process.  The scheduling and completion of these audits are subject to the availability of AMAS resources, and progress made towards completion of the annual plan.

AUDIT SCOPE The first phase of an audit is referred to as the "preliminary survey".  This phase consists primarily of information gathering by various means, e.g., conducting interviews, reviewing documents, etc.  Our Department Audit Planning Document provides an overview of the types of activities potentially subject to audit, as well as a general overview of the audit process.  Please also see "External Audits" for "What To Expect In An Audit".
