Internal audit responsibilities

1.

The chief judge or his or her designee shall determine, and periodically review his or her determination of, whether an internal audit function within the judiciary is required. Establishment of such function shall be based upon an evaluation of exposure to risk, costs and benefits of implementation, and any other factors that are determined to be relevant. In the event it is determined that an internal audit function is required, the chief judge shall establish an internal audit function which operates in accordance with generally accepted professional standards for internal auditing. Any such internal audit function shall be directed by an internal audit director who shall report directly to the chief administrative judge. The internal audit function shall evaluate the judiciary’s internal controls, identify internal control weaknesses that have not been corrected and make recommendations to correct these weaknesses.

2.

In the event the chief judge does not establish an internal audit function pursuant to subdivision one of this section he or she shall nevertheless establish and maintain the program of internal control review required by section two hundred forty-nine-a of this article.
