Definition and Importance

The Audit Department at Garmian University is one of the core and vital units embedded within the university's approved organizational structure. Like other government departments and institutions, it plays a crucial and influential role; in addition to auditing financial transactions, it exercises financial oversight over all financial and administrative procedures.

The significance of this department is amplified under the decentralized accounting system adopted by our university, where it bears full responsibility for all operations. In this regard, it can be said that our department acts as the "Garmian Treasury," although the Treasury only performs quick reviews of transactions and its primary function is to fund the requested amounts for the university.
