“Internal audit can be a guide and direction that is part of the quality control process on the quality of learning for the IKM FPH UI Doctoral Study Program,” said Prof. Mondastri in his speech.
Furthermore, Dr. Dra.

From the implementation of the AIA IKM FPH UI Doctoral Study program, several non-conformances (KTS) were produced and contained descriptions of conditions for meeting criteria, required audit documents, recommendations for improvement, and plans for completion of recommendations in the future.
On the same occasion, the auditor conveyed several inputs such as documentation, improvement of outcome-based education, and future accreditation listed in the items or objects of the audit.
This AIA activity is one of the efforts made by FPH UI in order to maintain academic quality control and preparation before accreditation in order to get a superior predicate, especially for this FPH UI IKM Doctoral Study Program. (AHS)
