Risk Management & Audit Assurance

Welcome to the Risk Management
& Audit Assurance (RMAA) website

Welcome to the homepage of the Office of Risk Management and Audit Assurance (RMAA) at the University of Tasmania website.
The RMAA Office provides the University with internal audit and risk assessment services. It operates under a formal charter approved by Audit & Risk Committee and Council and reports to the Vice-Chancellor, through the Executive Director, Finance.

RMAA undertakes a variety of auditing work in addition to traditional financial systems based audits. It reviews the efficiency and effectiveness of operations and the management of computer systems. It also assesses the University’s response to legal compliance requirements and ethical issues. The RMAA audit regime has a 5 yr Audit Strategy with a focus around  -

• Core compliance audits
• Risk based audits and
• Improvement Reviews.

RMAA is also overseeing the implementation of a formal risk assessment program and the development of a profile of strategic and operational risks to the University. The risk profile will help to improve the effectiveness of the University's risk management activities by raising staff awareness and identifying areas where an integrated response to risk is required.

Because of its independent status RMAA is well placed to provide management, senior executive and Audit & Risk Committee with impartial reports on risk and the state of various University operations.
If you need more help or have any queries about who we are or what we do, please feel free to email the Manager RMAA at Bernard.Griffiths@utas.edu.au or telephone 03 6226 1978.
