Applying the Standards for Internal Auditors - Part 2
In the realm of internal auditing, professionals turn to the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) Standards for comprehensive guidance on executing their fiduciary responsibilities effectively.
This CPE Auditing Course delves into two crucial elements of the Performance Standards: managing the internal audit function and the nature of work within internal auditing. Managing internal audit extends beyond overseeing specific projects; it involves the entire audit process, ensuring the team possesses relevant knowledge, adequate resources align with the mission, and effective communication is established with management and the board.
Examining the nature of work within internal audit, the IIA Standards outline three critical areas: Controls, Risk Management, and Governance. While the evaluation of controls is widely understood, there's often a challenge in determining the role of internal audit in risk management and governance activities. This course is part two of the series ‘Applying the Standards for Internal Auditors’, it delves deeper into the challenges faced in managing the internal audit activity and properly identifying the internal audit's nature of work.
