Field: Auditing | Delivery Method: Self Study | CPE Hours: 26.0
The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) changed from the International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF) to Global Internal Audit Standards (GIAS), and it's the biggest thing to happen in internal audit since 2017, if you follow the IIA standards.
The intent was to provide more effective standards for Internal Audit globally, and the new standards will become effective January 2025. The previous version, the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing (IPPF), released in 2017, remains approved for use during 2024, which means you will need to make changes to your processes if you plan to conform with the GIAS.
The Standards guide the worldwide professional practice of internal auditing, are principle-based, and serve as a basis for evaluating and elevating the quality of the internal audit function.
This is your opportunity to take a deep dive into the standards, so you understand the new requirements, and adjust your internal audit activity to conform with the new standards.
The GIAS use 15 guiding principles to enable effective internal auditing. Each principle is supported by standards that contain requirements, considerations for implementation, and examples of evidence of conformance.
The IIA also released a two-way mapping document of the 2017 IPPF standards to the 2024 Global standards.
The Global Standards are organized 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 Service
