Internal Audit Function
Whereas, the Board Audit Committee (BAC) has been carefully considering the institution of an internal audit function within ICANN as a best practice for financial controls and accountability within the organization.
Whereas, the BAC, through staff, identified an initial scope and firm to perform the internal audit function and report the results of such function directly to the BAC.
Whereas, the BAC had an initial discussion with the internal audit firm while in Brussels, and provided a brief presentation to the Board on the initiation of the internal audit function.
Resolved (2010.06.25.29), the Board appreciates the Board Audit Committee's institution of this important step in continued best practices for audit committees and increased accountability for the organization.
