Chief Internal Auditor

The Chief Internal Auditor provides independent, objective assurance and consulting services designed to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of the Authority’s governance, risk management, internal control, financial, operational, and compliance processes. The Chief Internal Auditor leads and administers the Authority’s full-time internal auditing program in accordance with the Illinois Fiscal Control and Internal Auditing Act (“the Act”) and applicable professional standards and ethical requirements.

The Chief Internal Auditor is appointed to a five-year term by the Authority’s Executive Director and reports directly to the Executive Director, with direct communication access to the governing board, as applicable in the execution of internal auditing activities (30 ILCS 10/2002(b)). The Chief Internal Auditor role and internal audit staff, if any, reporting to the Chief Internal Auditor shall be independent of Authority operations and have no operational and/or related managerial responsibilities that could impair audit independence.
