Learning Objective

  • Evaluate Domain III – Governing the IA Function.
  • Implement Principle 6: Authorized by the Board, covering key standards.
  • Examine Principle 7: Positioned Independently for audit effectiveness.
  • Assess Board and Senior Management support for internal audit.
  • Analyze organizational independence and CAE qualifications under Standard 7.

Course Overview

Internal audit governance—sounds dry, right? But with new standards coming into play, it’s about to get a lot more interesting. For the first time, the Board’s responsibilities in internal audit are being spelled out loud and clear. Welcome to part one of a three-part series where we dive headfirst into Domain III of these shiny new guidelines. You’ll discover how the Board not only signs off on the internal audit function but also keeps an eagle eye on its independence and performance—oh, and don’t forget about the chief audit executive (CAE). It’s a lot to cover, but that’s what we’re here for.

This course is all about action. Understanding the standards is great, but how do you actually do it? What if your organization can’t meet the Domain III requirements? As a CAE or internal auditor, how do you handle pushback from the higher-ups? We’ll break it down together, offering some nifty strategies to stay compliant, even when your company’s tricky.

Key Topics Covered:

  • Domain III IA Governance
  • Board-Authorized IA Mandate
  • Crafting an IA Charter
  • Organizational Independence Standards
  • CAE Qualifications and Support

So, come along for the ride as we untangle the key parts of Domain III. We’ll arm you with the know-how to nail down board authorization, maintain your independence, and rally support from senior management—without losing your cool.
