The IIA Research Foundation: Topics Awaiting Proposals for Funding
The Institute of Internal Auditors Research Foundation encourages research of discovery, integration, and application along the broad areas included in The IIA definition that identifies internal audit as an integral part of an organization's governance, risk, and control processes.

While we encourage broad topics, we also encourage researchers to make a link to the internal audit activity in the research. We are also seeking authors to share their ideas and practical experiences in internal auditing. We are currently seeking authors for The IIA Handbook Series and other publications related to the topics outlined below.

This topical list will be expanded in the coming months; watch this page for more information.

To submit a proposal, refer to our Proposal Submission Guidelines.
