Topical Requirements are a new element of the International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF) for internal auditors, joining the Global Internal Audit Standards™ and Global Guidance. Topical Requirements are a cornerstone in defining the potential scope of an audit in a specific risk area, setting the stage without laying out a comprehensive work program.
