Internal Audit

Strengthening governance and risk management

In November 2009, GAVI established an independent internal audit function to evaluate and strengthen risk management, control and governance processes in the organisation. The work of the internal audit function extends not only to the Secretariat but also to the programmes and activities of GAVI’s grant recipients and partners.

The Director of Internal Audit reports to the CEO and the Board, which has the mandate to appoint and terminate the Director upon the recommendation of the Audit and Finance Committee.

The Audit and Finance Committee also assesses the organisational structure, mandate and operating budget of the internal audit function to ensure that these are appropriate and sufficient to meet agreed activities. In addition, the Director of Internal Audit serves as compliance officer for GAVI’s Whistleblower Policy, together with the Chair of the Audit and Finance Committee.
