HEQC Audit & improvement plan

"Institutional audit constitutes one of the methodologies through which the HEQC carries out its responsibilities for quality assurance. The audit focuses on an institution’s policies, systems, procedures, strategies and resources for the management of the quality of the core functions of teaching and learning, research and community engagement, as well as academic support services. More specifically, institutional audit seeks to assess an institution’s capacity for quality management of its academic activities in a manner that meets its specified mission, goals and objectives, and engages appropriately with and responds to the expectations and needs of various internal and external constituencies."
