Enhancing Engineering Audit Practices in Higher Education

Abstract

Engineering auditing in colleges and universities serves as a core supervisory mechanism for standardizing campus construction processes and enhancing the utilization efficiency of fiscal funds. It plays a pivotal role in optimizing the allocation of higher education resources. Using the annual operational practices of the engineering auditing department at a specific university as a case study, this paper systematically examines the implementation framework and practical outcomes of engineering auditing in higher education institutions. It conducts an in-depth analysis of the core challenges and their underlying causes within audit operations and proposes improvement pathways, such as deepening collaborative mechanisms and strengthening technological empowerment. The aim is to provide practical references for the standardized and scientific development of engineering auditing in colleges and universities.
