Margie,
In my case, I have unrestricted access to records and personnel as needed for the audit under review. If you would like to see the actual wording, my audit charter is available at http://www.uwrf.edu/Administration/InternalAudit.cfm. Then look for Office of Internal Audit Charter just under the mission statement.
