Depok, September 17, 2025 – The Academic Quality Assurance Unit (UPMA) of the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Indonesia (FTUI) held the Opening Meeting for the Internal Audit of the Quality and Safety, Health, and Environment (SHE) Management Systems virtually via Zoom Meeting. This event marked the beginning of FTUI’s Internal Audit Week, an annual activity conducted as part of the preparation for the upcoming external audit scheduled for mid-October 2025.
In his opening remarks, Prof. Dr. Ir. Winarto, M.Sc., Head of UPMA FTUI, emphasized that the internal audit aims to identify findings that will serve as the basis for evaluation—particularly within the Quality, Occupational Health and Safety, and Environmental Management Systems (QHSEMS).
“We hope that this internal audit week will serve as a valuable evaluation platform for each department and work unit. The findings and feedback obtained will form the foundation for continuous improvement, enabling the faculty to be better prepared for the external audit and to achieve excellent accreditation status,” he stated.
The internal audit at FTUI involves young lecturers, educational staff, and laboratory technicians serving as auditors, while department heads, faculty leaders, and laboratory heads act as auditees. Santoso Joko Waluyo explained that the purpose of this audit is to ensure that the implementation of FTUI’s quality and SHE management systems complies with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 standards and is effectively carried out across all departments, work units, and laboratories.
This year’s audit covers eight departments and eleven work units, with the Department of Interdisciplinary Engineering joining as a new participant. For the SHE scope, the audit includes seven departments and one laboratory in the I-CELL Building, totaling 50 educational and research laboratories to be audited.
Internal auditors are required to report any non-conformities, observations, or opportunities for improvement using the PTP Form by September 26, 2025. Subsequent stages include corrective actions from September 30 to October 7, a management review meeting on October 8, and the external audit scheduled for October 14–16, 2025. The audit process is expected to run smoothly with adequate documentation as supporting evidence, ultimately resulting in actionable recommendations for continuous improvement in every unit.
Dean of FTUI, Prof. Kemas Ridwan Kurniawan, S.T., M.Sc., Ph.D., expressed his appreciation for the implementation of the internal audit.
“The internal audit is a vital instrument to ensure that both academic and non-academic governance at FTUI adhere to international standards. This activity not only prepares the faculty for the external audit but also serves as a reflection platform for the entire academic community to uphold a culture of quality, safety, health, and environmental awareness sustainably,” he stated.
