The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) at the University of Jember hosted a Phase IV performance audit visit conducted by the university’s Internal Audit Unit (SPI) on September 3–4. This audit activity is part of the SPI’s performance audit agenda, covering areas such as finance, human resources (HR), the procurement of goods and services, state-owned assets, and Quality Management Systems (QMS/SMAP). The visit aimed to ensure that organizational governance aligns with the principles of accountability, transparency, and continuous quality improvement. For each area, the UNEJ SPI team provided assistance by verifying data completeness and offering recommendations regarding governance practices.

In opening the event, the Vice Dean for Academic Affairs of FMIPA UNEJ, Prof. Dra. Hari Sulistiyowati, M.Sc., Ph.D. accompanied by the Vice Dean for Student Affairs, Prof. Dr. Edy Supriyanto, S.Si., M.Si. delivered opening remarks while representing the Dean of FMIPA, who was unable to attend. Prof. Hari emphasized that the internal audit serves as a crucial opportunity to evaluate and strengthen the faculty’s governance. “We welcome the UNEJ Internal Supervisory Unit (SPI) team. We appreciate the conduct of this audit and hope that the FMIPA team provides data and information openly, ensuring the audit process runs smoothly and serves as a basis for evaluating and improving the quality of FMIPA’s governance,” said Prof. Hari.

Meanwhile, representing the University of Jember’s Internal Supervisory Unit (SPI) team, Ir. Anik Suwandari, M.P., CPIA., CHRM., explained that the performance audit aims not only to conduct administrative checks but also to serve as a mitigation measure for the management of institutional data and documents. According to her, data completeness and organization will be highly beneficial when faculties undergo accreditation processes or inspections by various agencies. “We are conducting this audit as part of our risk mitigation efforts. Well-documented data proves invaluable when required for accreditation or various types of inspections. Consequently, work units will not need to scramble to locate data at the last minute, as all documents are already well-organized,” Anik explained.

The visitation activities began with an opening session with faculty leadership, followed by a document review across various areas including finance, human resources, procurement (PBJ), state-owned assets (BMN), and quality/anti-bribery management systems (SMM/SMAP) involving representatives from the Quality Assurance Group (GPM), the website team, and coordinators for the Integrity Zone (WBK) development area. Visits were also made to specific locations, such as departments and laboratories within the FMIPA. The second day concluded with an exit meeting with FMIPA leadership. The event wrapped up with the handover of the Performance Audit official report by Dr. Ir. Krisnamurti, M.T., CPIA., CRP., CHRM. (Secretary of the UNEJ Internal Supervisory Unit/SPI) to Prof. Dra. Hari Sulistiyowati, M.Sc., Ph.D. (Vice Dean I of FMIPA UNEJ).
