Internal Audit
The Internal Audit Department is an independent appraisal function established within the School System.
Our mission is to examine and evaluate the effectiveness, efficiency and economy of the Fulton County School System's activities as a service to management, and in fulfillment of its obligation to the Superintendent, Fulton County Board Of Education and the Audit Committee of the Board.
The objective of the internal audit function is to assist all levels of management of the school system in the effective discharge of their responsibilities by providing independent analysis, appraisals, recommendations, advice, and information concerning the activities reviewed and by promoting effective control at a reasonable cost.
The Internal Audit Department is committed to promoting transparency and accountability in government operations. By publishing internal audit information, we aim to enhance public understanding of how resources are managed and to foster trust between government and citizens. Sharing these insights demonstrates our dedication to open governance and allows the public to see how we identify opportunities for improvement, safeguard public assets, and support the effective delivery of services. Ultimately, our goal is to ensure that all stakeholders are informed and engaged in the pursuit of good governance.
In addition, the Internal Audit Department maintains the Fraud, Waste, and Abuse (FWA) Hotline. The purpose of the FWA Hotline is to encourage concerned Fulton County School System employees and the public to report allegations of school-related fraud, waste, and abuse. Policy DIE: Fraud Prevention encourages concerned Fulton County School System employees and the public to report allegations of school-related fraud, waste, and abuse.
Allegations can be reported using the ELECTRONIC FORM.
