I'm finding that the best place is often somewhere in the realm of quality control - internal audit - compliance - risk management, but I'm not sure how that maps onto HE structures.

In the past it has sat within MIS, HR and ICT on different occasions. Is there a particular department that lends itself more appropriately than another one? I would be interested to know how or where the position is placed in other College's.
