Normally, the Internal Audit Department includes five employees. Currently, there are three internal auditors in the department.

Raheel Qureshi has been with the University’s Internal Audit Department since June 2013. He is a certified public accountant (CPA) with an MBA from Pace University. Prior to UNC Charlotte, Qureshi worked in public accounting with Deloitte & Touche and, more recently, at TIAA. He has served as interim chief audit officer since September 2016.

As a reminder, ITS has a website with technology notes that outlines updates that will occur during the summer.

Construction crews working on the LYNX Blue Line Extension, the 9.3-mile extension to Charlotte’s current light rail system, have energized the overhead catenary system (OCS) throughout the entire alignment up to UNC Charlotte. The OCS provides electricity that powers light rail vehicles through a pantograph at the top of the vehicle.  The system carries 750 volts, direct current. 

Faculty and staff members can try the fitness and recreation areas of Belk Gym for free from Monday, May 15, through Sunday, May 21. Employees should bring their UNC Charlotte IDs to present at the check-in location for this free preview.

Belk Gym will be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday; noon to 5 p.m., Saturday; and noon to 8 p.m., Sunday. The facility features a fitness center, cycling and group fitness studios, basketball and racquetball courts, swimming pool and locker rooms.

To those outside the profession, internal auditors may appear to have their own way in which they work.

However, internal auditors are required to follow the International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF), which is a set of standards promulgated by the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA).

Cone Visitor Deck will be closed from Monday, May 8, through Friday, June 2, to upgrade parking equipment.

Visitors will use ParkMobile to pay for parking (instructions will be in the deck). Visitors who have validated tickets should place the voucher on the car dash.

Lot 30 (between Reese Building and Cone University Center) will have temporary visitor disability spaces.

The Office of Disability Services recently presented its Accessibility Excellence Award for Outstanding Faculty/Staff to 11 individuals in recognition of their “strong commitment to accessibility and disability-related issues.”

Thirteen faculty members whose combined service to the University totaled 357 years were honored at an annual event Wednesday, May 3, at the Harris Alumni Center. University leaders noted that each of the retirees had been active participants in the many changes and milestones in the life of the University.

Chancellor Philip L. Dubois presided over the program, offering remembrances of each retiree. Additionally, he noted the University’s recent 70th anniversary and recognized that a few retirees with more than 35 years of service helped to write half of the University’s story.

Dawn Traynor with the University Center for Academic Excellence needs shared leave donations.
