The statistical population in qualitative stage included professionals and beneficiaries of the processes (managers) that among them 12 members were chosen by targeted sampling. The statistical population in quantitative stage included all faculty members of Shahed University that among them 168 member selected. They were selected by stratified sampling.

To analyzing the qualitative data thematic analysis and for analyzing quantities data one-sample t-test, One - way ANOVA (F), factor analysis and structural equation modeling were used. . It was concluded from data analysis that structural requirements, audit levels, audit criteria and indexes, action plan, auditing the main processes and audit reporting should be considered for educational and research processes. In addition auditing the educational and research processes is multi-dimension and multi -face current and is complex and dynamic.
