Council of Internal Auditing

The North Carolina Council of Internal Auditing was created by the 2007 session of the General Assembly. The creating act requires state agencies to establish a program of internal auditing that complies with current national standards, provided the agency has an annual operating budget of more than $10,000,000 or more than 100 full-time employees, or that receives and processes more than $10,000,000 in cash in a fiscal year.

The Council adopted a policy that state agencies with annual operating budgets of more than $10,000,000 but less than $70,000,000 or more than 100 full-time employees should utilize the Interagency Internal Audit Program within the Office of Internal Audit.
