Babayo Said Abubakar
Internal Audit
Department History
In compliance with the provisions of chapter 17th of the Financial Regulation, the Chief Executive Officer of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital Bauchi, ATBUTH, established Internal Audit department to provide a complete and continuous audit of all the accounts and records of revenue and expenditure, as well as all assets allocated and unallocated to store where applicable.
At the inception of the ATBUTH in 2010, the hospital inherited only one (1) Internal Audit staff from the Bauchi State Government who later returned to the state government, paving the way for the employment of a Chief Internal Auditor and an Assistant Executive Officer (AEO) Audit, all in 2010. After one and a half years of hard work and struggles, the management of the Teaching Hospital redeployed six more junior staff to the Audit Department, making the Internal Audit Department eight people strong. By May 2012, an Assistant Chief Internal Auditor was employed, and two months later the Chief Internal Auditor de-seconded his appointment with the Teaching Hospital and returned to the State Government.
