Scope and Content
Series consists of files resulting from internal audits conducted by the Office of Internal Audit (OIA). Audits pertained to hiring of contractuals; financial statements; parking; furniture; computer systems; and, other IMF internal systems., Series contains correspondence files between departments and the External Audit Committee; memoranda to files; handwritten audit notes; background papers used by the Internal Auditor to compile the audit report; copies of audit plans; and, draft audit reports., Series was arranged according to original order. However, minor discrepancies in the filing scheme appear over time. This is likely due to a new recordkeeper taking over responsibility for maintaining files and imposing a new order. In cases of discrepancies, the archivist attempted to arrange the file in original sections (some by subject, some by file plan number as printed on the file label), and where possible, followed successive chronology by Fiscal Year.
