RMAS adheres to the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing (Standards) which requires an external assessment by a qualified, independent review team. The objective is to evaluate our conformance with the Standards and to measure ourselves against internal policies and procedures, stakeholder expectations, and industry best practices.

An assessment was undertaken in 2014 and plans are underway for an assessment in 2019. The results of each assessment are provided to senior leadership and to Harvard’s audit oversight committee.
