As indicated above, the Internal Audit Department is comprised of five (5) individuals, four (4) of whom are auditors. Based upon the available audit staff and the work days available in the year for performance of audit activities, adjusted for non-audit days such as vacation, holiday and other leave, and other supervision and administrative tasks that need to be performed, and excluding those days which are devoted to grant compliance monitoring and time which is reserved for those special audit requests that typically arise in any given year, the Internal Audit Department estimates that approximately 600 days will be available to be devoted to audit activities in the coming year. As a result, the audits planned for the coming year have been based upon the number of days estimated to be available for audit activities as shown below.
