Advocacy Start Here - The Institute of Internal Auditors

Advocacy is defined by The IIA as instilling pride in the internal audit profession, encouraging change and building relationships with organizations and stakeholders that impact the profession globally.

Over the years, The IIA has intensified the focus on what it terms advocacy -- so much so, that advocacy is one of the three main objectives of The IIA's strategic plan.
