The Internal Audit Section’s mission is to provide management with independent and objective evaluations of the adequacy and effectiveness of the operations and controls of the Arkansas Department of Transportation. Internal Audit is divided into two sections: the Motor Fuel Tax Section and the Internal Audit Section. The Motor Fuel Tax Section conducts International Fuel Tax Agreement audits and Motor Fuel Tax audits. The Internal Audit Section conducts Information Systems audits, Utility Audits, and Internal Audits of Department Districts and Divisions.

Internal Audit Independence Statement

Internal Audit is free from Department impairments to independence in our reporting.  The results of audits are reported to the Director of the Arkansas Department of Transportation.  Audit reports are also available to the public for review.
