Praise be to God, and may God's prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of God.
I am pleased to begin by welcoming you to the introductory website of the Internal Audit Department at the University of Tabuk. This department was established pursuant to Decision No. 24/11/32/Q, dated 01/09/1432 AH, issued by His Excellency the University President, in implementation of Cabinet Resolution No. (235), dated 08/20/1425 AH, which stipulates the establishment of internal audit units in each entity subject to the oversight of the General Audit Bureau. The head of the unit shall report to the entity's top official.
The Unified Regulations for Internal Audit Units, issued by Cabinet Resolution No. (129), dated 04/06/1428 AH, is the primary reference for the Department's work.
It is an independent department that aims to raise the level and quality of administrative, financial, and technical work at the university by providing the necessary recommendations and consultations to various departments, assisting the university's senior management in achieving its objectives, and ensuring that established goals are achieved in accordance with established plans. It also ensures that all university sectors and departments adhere to the rules and regulations in force within government agencies, and uncovers, monitors, and corrects any shortcomings and deficiencies within the scope of these departments' work. I cannot miss this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation to His Excellency the President of Tabuk University—may God preserve him—for the great attention he gives to this unit and his keenness to activate its role within the university. I ask God to guide us all toward what He loves and is pleased with, and toward what is best for this university and for the advancement and progress of this generous nation. All praise is due to God, Lord of the Worlds.
