The Internal Control Department at Tafila Technical University was established in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. Its foundation is based on Article (25) of the Jordanian Universities Law of 2009, and the Internal Control System and its amendments, Regulation No. (3) of 2011. The department also adheres to the organizational instructions governing control units in government departments, issued in 2016.
The Internal Control Department reports directly to the University Board of Trustees, to which it is fully accountable. Its primary role is to oversee the financial, administrative, and technical aspects of the university. The department is committed to submitting quarterly, semi-annual, and annual reports to the Board. These reports detail the results of the department’s activities and include recommendations for evaluation, correction, and accountability.
As a key mechanism within the university, the department ensures that the responsibilities assigned to various organizational entities are carried out effectively. It also guarantees the implementation of internal control procedures in compliance with approved laws and regulations. Furthermore, the department is dedicated to upholding principles of justice, transparency, and financial accuracy, aiming to safeguard public funds and the university’s resources.
Under Paragraph (C) of Article (24) of the Jordanian Universities Law No. (18) of 2018, the Internal Control Department was restructured as an administrative unit reporting directly to the University Board of Trustees. This restructuring, finalized on January 8, 2025, expanded the department to include the following divisions:
- Financial Audit and Control Division
- Administrative Audit and Control Division
- Technical Audit and Follow-Up Division
The department’s responsibilities include monitoring all university revenues and conducting pre-audit reviews of payment vouchers. It also reviews transactions referred by the university president and vice presidents prior to final decision-making. Additionally, the department performs field audits across all university facilities to ensure compliance with approved regulations and to promote efficiency in resource utilization.
