An insightful feature focusing on how the new Standards raise the bar for the profession.
"Now more than ever, [internal auditors] need standards that meet their needs and raise the quality of the internal audit services they provide" Mike Peppers, International Internal Audit Standards Board (IIASB) immediate past Chairman.
The new Standards articulate the keys to effective internal auditing by grouping the Standards into five domains:
• Domain I: Purpose of Internal Auditing
• Domain II: Ethics and Professionalism
• Domain III: Governing the Internal Audit Function
• Domain IV: Managing the Internal Audit Function
• Domain V: Performing Internal Audit Services
The IPPF structure has also changed.
Mandatory topical guidance on subjects such as cyber will also be published - we will keep you updated on progress.
