Vision
Our vision is to serve as a trusted advisor to management and the Audit Committee, ensuring a robust and transparent control environment that protects UTHealth Houston’s assets and reputation.
Mission
Our mission is to provide objective, risk-based assurance and advisory services that promote a culture of accountability, improve operational efficiency, and support the achievement of strategic objectives.
We achieve our mission by:
- Educating clients to effectively control risks.
- Performing reviews of internal control systems to provide our clients with independent assurance that such control systems – which are designed to help UTHealth Houston achieve its goals – are functioning properly.
- Providing our clients with timely, reliable and practical information, to assist them in improving the effectiveness, efficiency and economy of their operations.
- Protecting UTHealth Houston assets, by recovering funds from overcharged costs or misplaced revenues, identifying areas where future funds may be at risk, and recommending ways to secure them.
- Developing and maintaining a “learning organization”, with a group of skilled and motivated individuals to provide high quality service today, and prepared to assume other responsibilities within UTHealth Houston tomorrow.
