The IIA’s Global Internal Audit Survey – A Component of the CBOK Study

The IIA’s Global Internal Audit Survey is the most comprehensive global study of the profession conducted since the 2006 study. These ongoing surveys provide internal audit practitioners with the latest information on the status of the profession across the globe.

The survey, which was offered in a total of 22 languages, closed on May 21, 2010.  More than 13,500 respondents comprised of IIA members and non-members alike from over 95 countries completed the survey. By offering their time, knowledge and insights, survey respondents have delivered a valuable contribution to the internal audit profession!*

 *Note: Those respondents who were randomly selected as a recipient of one of the 30 Visa gift cards will receive information at the email address that was provided at the end of the survey   

The survey results will be published in different formats:

• Five quick read reports focusing on the global results which will be published by The IIA Research Foundation (IIARF).
• Local IIA institutes and/or associated organizations may provide information based on the survey results more specifically geared to their regions.
• Watch for "fast facts" during the coming months based on the survey results, on The IIARF's web site.

The IIARF reports will be published (in English) in different phases and will be available online (at no cost to members) or in print through The IIARF Bookstore. The first two reports will be published before the end of this year.
