Knowledge centre
Welcome to the IIA Knowledge Centre, your portal to the IIA's technical services for members and to our thought leadership material on the profession of internal auditing.
Please click on these quick links to access the following useful areas:
Internal auditing is a profession in its own right. One characteristic of a profession is that it has a defined set of knowledge, skills, behaviours and competencies that its members need to master and to practice in their day to day jobs. This is known as the body of knowledge and it is the focus of the Institute’s technical services. ‘Technical’ is all about developing the body of knowledge and explaining it to internal auditors and to their stakeholders.
Here in the Knowledge Centre members will find easy access to professional guidance: the professional standards: the Definition of Internal Auditing, the Code of Ethics and the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing and guidance provided by the Institute on how to apply the standards and to a resource library of key texts related to governance, risk management, internal control and management published by other organisations. Members can use it to ask the Institute's technical team for guidance on a particular point and to network with fellow members and to share templates and other material. Stakeholders in internal auditing - audit committee members, executive directors, etc - will also find a way to pose questions to the profession and to see the responses on the forum entitled Helping the profession's stakeholders
