An interim audit is more than a simple document review; it is an early detection measure to ensure the university's management of budget, revenue, cash, and assets stays on the right track. Before inspections begin at each faculty and work unit, the Internal Audit Unit (SPI) of UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta brought together all relevant parties to align their understanding of the audit's scope, stages, and data requirements.

This initial meeting took the form of the Entry Meeting for the Semester I Fiscal Year 2026 Interim Audit, held on Tuesday (9/15/2026), in the Meeting Room of the Prof. K.H. Saifuddin Zuhri Building (PAU), 3rd Floor. The forum marked the starting point of coordination ahead of the audit covering the January–June 2026 period, which will be carried out in stages across each work unit from September through December 2026.

The forum was attended by deans and the Director of the Graduate School, vice deans for General Administration, Planning, and Finance, the Head of the Integrated Service Unit, division heads, State-Owned Property (BMN) validators, functional officials, auditors, and other relevant parties.

Secretary of SPI UIN Sunan Kalijaga, Syaifullaahi Maslul, said the entry meeting serves as both an initial notification and part of the coordination process for carrying out the audit. This meeting is necessary to ensure every unit shares a consistent understanding of the inspection stages and can prepare supporting documents in an orderly manner.

The audit focuses on compliance in the management of revenue, cash, budget, and BMN assets. The inspection aims to ensure that all processes involved in managing the university's resources comply with the regulations of the Ministry of Finance and its derivative regulations.

In carrying out the audit, SPI will review a number of supporting documents, including standard operating procedures for revenue management, revenue data, cash administration records, documentation of facility usage, and records of BMN asset registration and transfers. This documentation is needed to obtain a complete picture of governance within each unit.

The interim audit also serves as a space for evaluation and mentoring for work units. Through this process, practices that are already working well can be maintained, while aspects still requiring improvement can be promptly addressed before the fiscal year comes to a close.

Carrying out the audit on a scheduled basis is expected to support effective oversight while strengthening a culture of administrative order across the university. Coordination between SPI, auditors, and all work units is an important part of ensuring the inspection process remains objective, measurable, and constructive.

The interim audit forms part of the internal oversight cycle carried out regularly at UIN Sunan Kalijaga. Through coordination established from this initial meeting, all units move forward with a shared understanding and shared working standards, allowing university governance to grow as a collective culture: orderly in process, careful in management, and consistent in supporting the achievement of institutional goals.
