In a recent competition organized by the Institute of Internal Auditors – Kenya Chapter, aimed at recognizing outstanding Internal Audit functions, AKU's IAD stood out among a pool of competitive contenders.
The competition, which drew participants from both public and private institutions across Kenya, sought to acknowledge Internal Audit departments that showed remarkable adherence to global standards, innovation, agility, and effective management of their operations. The Institute of Internal Auditors appointed a panel of independent judges, and among its strict requirements were the establishment of a strong quality assurance improvement program (QAIP) and proof of external assessments.
Out of a total of 57 corporate institutions vying for the coveted awards, AKU's IAD emerged as the overall winner in the category of Not-for-Profit Institutions. Additionally, the department secured the position of first runners-up in the Universities category, further reinforcing its reputation for excellence in the field of internal auditing.
“This recognition reaffirms AKU's commitment to transparency and professional integrity, crucial for fostering trust and efficiency in healthcare delivery and educational excellence," said Moez Narsi, AKU Chief Internal Auditor.
“I would like to thank our esteemed Board, Board Audit Committee and the Senior Leadership for their steadfast support and guidance, instrumental in this success. Also, kudos to Stephen Muriuki, Regional Director Internal Audit, EA and my most dynamic and passionate team for their support and dedication throughout."
