Student membership
"The effectiveness of the internal audit function relies on its credibility with all levels of the organisation in which it operates. The foundation for gaining credibility is demonstrable achievement of professional skills and competence, both in theory and in practice on the part of each internal auditor. The IIA qualifications provide the ideal base for building such confidence"
Gordon Adam, Audit Policy and Advice team, HM Treasury
