Beth Stuart joined the University in 2017 and currently leads Internal Audit and Enterprise Risk Management. Beth came to the University because she believes in living our mission and Catholic Marianist values as part of our work. She has been working in risk management for over 20 years and has established multiple customized risk-based programs. Beth graduated from the University of Findlay with her Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with an emphasis in Business Economics and Management and with her Masters of Business Administration in Organizational Leadership. Beth holds the following certifications: Governance, Risk Management and Compliance Professional (GRCP), Governance, Risk Management and Compliance Auditor (GRCA), and Certified Fiduciary & Investment Risk Specialist (CFIRS). 

The Internal Audit and Enterprise Risk Management team uses a risk-based methodology that is applied to processes at the University. Internal Audit assists the University in accomplishing its mission by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluating its processes and offering recommendations to improve internal controls to manage risk. Enterprise risk management enhances the University’s ability to achieve its mission, vision, and strategic objectives by fostering an institution-wide culture of risk and opportunity awareness. The team serves as an independent business partner and approaches reviewing risks and internal controls with a collaborative and consultative approach. 

Beth believes that each of us is blessed to be part of our University community and should do our best to inspire and help others. She has enjoyed finding her faithful purpose at the University by helping others understand and manage risk. When she is not at work, she enjoys spending time with her husband and three children.
