Internal Audit is the independent auditing organisation of Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences. It works as part of a cooperation network for Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences, Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, the University of Erfurt, Ernst Abbe University of Applied Sciences Jena, Schmalkalden University of Applied Sciences, Erfurt University of Applied Sciences, Gera-Eisenach Cooperative State University and the Materials Research and Testing Institute at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. It audits and advises all areas of the university on behalf of the Presidential Board. In doing so, it helps to improve the administrative business processes and thus the performance of the university in terms of efficiency and risk minimisation.
