Who Are the Auditors at Stanford?

The Internal Audit auditors are Stanford employees reporting to the Chief Audit Executive.

External auditors represent independent public accounting firms, the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), sponsor organizations, the Inspector General's Office and others who carry out engagements including the annual financial statement audit, Stanford's compliance with government rules and regulations, indirect costs associated with government-sponsored research, and clinical trials.

Internal Audit performs liaison functions for all external auditors working on campus.
