The rules of procedure
The internal audit rules of procedure regulate the rights and duties of internal audit, in particular the right to information. They form the basis for internal auditing and set out the powers of internal auditing during an audit, as well as the limits of these powers.
The Internal Audit Rules of Procedure were adopted on 14 October 2025 by the rectorate of the University of Wuppertal and will soon be available for download here.
The audit manual
The audit manual lists the internal audit methods. While the rules of procedure regulate what is permitted, the audit manual records how the individual points of the rules of procedure are implemented. It is unusual for internal audits in Germany and worldwide to publish this book. However, the University of Wuppertal has opted for maximum transparency and publishes it for all members of the university.
The audit manual is currently being finalised and will be published as soon as possible.
Audit reports
The department heads have access to the audit reports of all completed audits in the department heads' exchange folder. The files are password-protected. Please contact innenrevision[at]uni-wuppertal.de in this regard.
