Functional Integration

Functional Integration is the thoughtful and methodical process that aligns and integrates the structures, roles, processes, and cultures of two or more merging organizations.

Functional Integration creates the institutional foundation needed to operate seamlessly across all campuses. It enables:

  • A unified operating model​
  • Consistent service delivery for faculty, staff, students and partners​
  • Clear roles and responsibilities across teams and leaders​
  • Aligned policies, systems, and workflows​
  • Stronger compliance, efficiency and collaboration​
  • A workforce model that evolves with needs

Building on this foundation, the following units and functional areas have begun active participation in the Functional Integration effort—working collaboratively to align operations, streamline workflows, and advance a consistent, institution-wide operating model.

Four working groups for the Internal Audit team

Four working groups have been established to focus on key priorities:

  • Service Delivery: articulate how internal audit services will be delivered and communicated across the integrated institution by identifying and evaluating processes, workflows, and protocols.
  • Roles & Culture: evaluate internal audit’s organizational structure by reviewing team roles, assessing skills and compensation, and recommending any realignments needed to support integration.
  • Standardization: develop a unified audit strategy by standardizing audit tools, systems, and templates for consistency.
  • Governance & Strategy Review: develop a unified audit strategy byidentifying relevant policies, governance bodies, and regulatory requirements affecting Internal Audit, as well as defining metrics and reporting standards for the integrated audit function.
