Internal Quality Audit, commonly known as AMI (Audit Mutu Internal), is a mechanism used to measure the level of achievement of predetermined performance targets. The legal basis for the implementation of Internal Quality Audit includes Law Number 12 of 2012 concerning Higher Education and the Regulation of the Minister of Research, Technology, and Higher Education (Menristekdikti) Number 62 of 2016 concerning the Higher Education Quality Assurance System. Furthermore, it is reinforced by the Regulation of the Minister of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology Number 53 of 2023 concerning Higher Education Quality Assurance.
In its implementation, the Internal Quality Audit is facilitated by the Quality Assurance Office in collaboration with the quality assurance task force teams at the Faculty/School or Study Program Management Units (UPPS), institutions, and lecturers who meet the required qualifications as AMI auditors. The audit objects or auditees consist of study programs and supporting units that have been operational for more than one year. The Internal Quality Audit activities are directly supervised by the Vice Rector for Academic and Student Affairs.
An auditor is a person who possesses the expertise and authority to conduct audits, namely examinations of financial reports, activities, or systems within an organization or entity. Auditors play a role in ensuring accuracy, reliability, and compliance with applicable rules and procedures.
An AMI auditor is an individual who is appointed and/or voluntarily registers and has fulfilled the required qualifications to become an AMI auditor. AMI auditors consist of members of the university quality assurance team, quality assurance task force teams at the UPPS and institutional levels, as well as lecturers within UNNES.
The requirements or qualifications to become an AMI auditor are as follows:
An auditee is an entity or party that becomes the subject of an audit. They may be individuals, organizations, or work units that are examined by auditors to ensure the accuracy of information or reports, as well as compliance with regulations and certain standards. Auditees play an important role in the audit process because they are responsible for providing relevant information and documentation to auditors.
At UNNES, auditees or audit objects include UPPS, study programs, and supporting units. In detail, the audit objects at UNNES consist of:
Internal Quality Audit activities are conducted over a period of 10 working days, divided according to an agreement between the auditor and the auditee. The AMI implementation mechanism begins with the input of performance targets through the Internal Quality Audit System (SIAMI), which is carried out in the middle of the year. This is followed by the submission of performance achievements prior to the AMI visitation, which is routinely conducted toward the end of the year.
The Internal Quality Audit process involves key supporting components of academic implementation at the UPPS and Study Program levels, as well as non-academic components at the supporting unit level.
Auditors are required to report the audit results for each auditee to the Quality Assurance Office. Subsequently, the quality assurance team compiles all audit results into a comprehensive report. The compiled audit results are then submitted to the Rector as evaluation material and consideration for decision-making.
The Rector provides feedback on the audit results, which are then presented through the University Management Review Meeting (RTM) as part of the year-end reflection process. The results of the Management Review Meeting (RTM) report can be accessed here.
