Audit and Control
At Fontys, Control and Audit help safeguard quality, transparency and improvement.
Control provides independent advice on strategy, performance, risks and the planning and control cycle. Audit provides additional assurance through independent reviews of the quality of education and research, as well as of supporting processes. Together, they ensure we work in a focused and responsible way.
Control
Control supports the Executive Board and management with strategy, organisation design, and performance, quality and risk management. In this way, we improve organisational performance in a lasting way and increase agility, transparency and focus. We strengthen the basics while also driving innovation, balancing hard and soft controls so the Board and management can make well-balanced decisions for stakeholders and the organisation.
Control operates at both central and local level. Centrally, Corporate Control supports the Executive Board on policy and leads the planning and control cycle. Locally, domain controllers act as strategic partners for the directors and managers of the various units. They help shape goals, choices and implementation.
Audit
Audit helps Fontys keep improving education and research. We provide reliable information and extra assurance to the Supervisory Board, the Executive Board and management. We do this independently, with expertise and a critical eye.
We review:
- the quality of education and research;
- whether key management and support processes work well;
- how degree programmes, services and research put the Fontys strategy into practice and manage change.
Every audit is development-oriented: the goal is lasting improvement. We work in a systematic and transparent way, with attention to context and care. In this way, Audit is a strategic partner for the Executive Board and directors.
