Internal Audit Unit

Welcome to Internal Audit Unit, International Islamic University Malaysia.

Internal auditing is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization's operations. It helps an organization accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disicplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes. Internal auditing is a catalyst for improving an organization's effectiveness and efficiency by providing insight and recommendations based on analyses and assesments of data and business processes.

Internal auditing activity is primarily directed at improving internal control. Under the COSO Framework, internal control is broadly defined as a process, effected by an entity's board of directors, management, and other personnel, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of objectives in the following internal control categories:

·         Effectiveness and efficiency of operations.

·         Reliability of financial reporting.

·         Compliance with laws and regulations.

Management is responsible for internal control. Managers establish policies and processes to help the organization achieve specific objectives in each of these categories. Internal auditors perform audits to evaluate whether the policies and processes are designed and operating effectively and provide recommendations for improvement.

To perform their role effectively, internal auditors require organizational independence from management, to enable unrestricted evaluation of management activities and personnel. Although internal auditors are part of company management and paid by the company, the primary customer of internal audit activity is the entity charged with oversight of management's activities. This is typically the Audit Committee, a sub-committee of the Board of Directors. To provide independence, The Head of Internal Audit reports to the Audit Committee, with administrative reporting to the Rector of IIUM or the Chief Executive Officer.

International Institute of Muslim Unity (IIMU)

UNITY is one of the key factors for the success and development of nations. Islam serves as a catalyst to the unification and development of the Muslim peoples, to provide leadership and moral direction for humanity. History has proven that religious and civilisational developments are only made possible through unity.

The revival of the leading role of the Muslim Ummah depends, to a great extent, on its     ability to fuse all its vast resources; be it economic, political, intellectual and religious. Therefore, Muslim academicians, professionals and politicians play a significant role in propelling the strength of unity among Muslims.

Towards this end, the International Institute for Muslim Unity (IIMU) was established in 2001. It is a non-partisan institute which aims at fostering and enhancing the UNITY of the Muslim Ummah through a variety of activities such as workshops, forums, conferences, publications, studies and dialogue.

The idea of the establishment of IIMU was first mooted by Y.B. Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Sanusi Junid, the former Honourable President of IIUM. The then right Honourable Prime Minister of Malaysia, Y.A. Bhg Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad endorsed the idea and  recommended that the institute be called the International Institute for Muslim Unity.
