Council of Higher Education Internal Auditors
CHEIA is the representative body of the internal audit profession in higher education in the United Kingdom. The objective of CHEIA is "to promote and develop the role and status of Internal Audit in Higher Education." CHEIA is organised on a regional basis (North Eastern Region, North Western Region and Southern Region). Each region normally holds two or three meetings a year and the entire membership each year and the entire membership comes together for the annual conference which is held each September.
Contact Tony Trick, University of Brighton, via email for further details.
The higher education sector is very diverse and as a consequence any list of current interests of group members is liable to be both incomplete and out-of-date. That said issues which have recently been discussed at regional meetings and the annual conference include:
-
Environmental Audit
-
Commercialisation
-
Intellectual Property
-
Governance and Risk Management
-
Costing of Teaching and Research
