The Audit Committee of the University of Nairobi has non-executive status and serves in an advisory capacity to the Vice Chancellor and the University Council.
According to a report by IMF, Kenya’s internal audit system was abolished in 1962. Over the next few years it became apparent that lack of internal audit contributed greatly to laxity in the management of public resources; in compliance with the relevant laws, regulations, procedures; and in internal controls; and the system was reintroduced in 1984.
