Internal Auditing Education Partnership Program
The Internal Auditing Education Partnership (IAEP) program was developed to respond to the growing interest in internal audit education at institutions of higher learning.  Download a flier featuring the program's benefits (PDF, 163KB).

The IAEP program is satisfying the general need of practitioners interested in hiring students with a well rounded skill set for internal auditing.  

IAEP Framework
To be successful, schools must have the ability and the resources necessary to support this effort. IAEP schools work closely with The IIA to develop meaningful internal audit curricula and assist other colleges and universities in establishing similar programs. The success of IAEP member schools demonstrates to other universities that internal audit education is worth the necessary commitment. The Framework was developed to provide guidance for existing IAEP programs and schools planning to apply to the program. IAEP Framework (PDF, 66KB).

Program Requirements
A successful program is a partnership with the school, IIA chapter/institute, and The IIA's Academic Relations.  Each partner hsa a role in the sustainability of the school's program. Twice a year, the ARC reviews applications from schools interested in becoming a member of the IAEP program. The ARC will consider applications from schools that:

• Demonstrate high potential and the aspiration to become leaders in internal audit education.
• Identify a faculty "champion" who will drive the IAEP program on campus as the coordinator.
• Provide support of the IAEP program from the department and school asministration.
• Partner with a local IIA chapter/institute to obtain the best results for the IAEP program.
• Possess the determination to adhere to the program criteria.
• Are recoginzed in the business communities as quality schools from which to recruit internal audit talent.
