Effective May 1, Georgia Tech’s investigative team has transitioned from the Office of General Counsel to the Department of Internal Auditing. This strategic realignment is designed to enhance the Institute’s investigative efforts and reaffirm Tech’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and the highest standards of integrity. 

“This realignment greatly enhances the work we do in Internal Auditing and follows best practices throughout the University System of Georgia,” said Jodi Geary, chief audit executive. “We thank our colleagues across the Institute for their collaboration and support as we continue to strengthen our internal processes.” 

With this reorganization, the Department of Internal Auditing will operate in two distinct areas — helping to ensure compliance with Georgia Tech and USG policies at the Institute and individual levels. The internal auditing team will continue to conduct broader reviews of departments and units to evaluate overall compliance with policies and procedures and to ensure that institutional internal controls are working properly. The investigative team will maintain a distinct scope of work by conducting objective investigations in response to specific individual-based allegations or concerns related to academic matters, employment and labor issues, and potential fraud.
