According to Permenristekdikti No. 62/2016 on Higher Education Quality Assurance System, the quality of higher education is the level of conformity between the implementation of higher education and Higher Education Standards consisting of National Higher Education Standards and Standards set by Higher Education. To measure the level of conformity between the implementation of higher education and Higher Education Standards, an evaluation of the implementation of Higher Education Standards is carried out through an Internal Quality Audit (AMI), where evaluation is part of the PPEPP implementation cycle.
Internal Quality Audit (AMI) is an inspection process carried out transparently and systematically to determine whether activities carried out in the academic and non-academic fields have maintained quality and the results have been carried out effectively in accordance with the standards, procedures and rules set at the International University of Batam. Internal Quality Audit is a stage in the quality assurance cycle to improve the quality culture of Universitas Internasional Batam.
Internal Quality Audit is a systematic, independent, and documented test to determine whether quality activities and results are in accordance with established university standards/procedures/regulations and are effectively implemented to achieve university objectives. Internal quality audit is not an assessment but rather a matching of conformity between implementation and planning of a work program. If in the internal quality audit instrument an assessment / scoring is carried out, then the assessment / scoring is only used to facilitate the formulation of quality improvement recommendations, not to get a predicate or assessment.
The purpose of an internal quality audit is to verify the standards, procedures and rules that have been established with implementation to obtain recommendations for quality improvement and ensure accountability of the findings of good practices or discrepancies between implementation and standards, procedures and rules.
