Presidium’s Internal Audit Department

The Presidium’s Internal Audit Department is the independent auditing office of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. It is responsible within a cooperation network for joint internal auditing at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, the University of Applied Sciences Jena, Schmalkalden University of Applied Sciences, Erfurt University of Applied Sciences, Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences, the Duale Hochschule Gera-Eisenach as well as the Material Research and Testing Institute (MFPA) at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar.

On behalf of the Presidium, the Presidium’s Internal Audit Department provides independent advisory and auditing services to help enhance the administrative processes and performance of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar while observing the principles of economic efficiency, economy and risk minimisation.

One outcome of the department’s work is objective reporting to the Presidium, which takes the reports and recommendations of the internal audit department into account in its decision-making processes.
When audits are conducted by external bodies (e.g. the state audit office), the internal audit department coordinates all queries and stipulations, accompanies on-site surveys, evaluates the audit reports and obtains expert opinions. Upon completing its audit report, it manages and supervises implementation of the resulting tasks and requirements.

The head of department, Jana Lorbeer, also serves as the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar’s anti-corruption officer and is the contact for all questions and measures relating to corruption and its prevention.
