Global Internal Audit Standards 

Thank you

Following The IIA’s public consultation period, the International Internal Audit Standards Board (IIASB) wishes to thank you for your feedback and comments on the proposed Global Internal Audit Standards. Your perspective is invaluable in shaping the Standards to address the evolving needs and challenges faced by audit professionals and organizations worldwide.

The IIASB places high importance on implementing a robust and transparent process for its standard setting and this is monitored by an independent oversight body. The IPPF Oversight Council (IPPFOC) evaluates and monitors the inclusiveness, transparency, and integrity of the IIASB’s standard setting processes prior to approval.  

The IIASB is reviewing and analyzing quantitative and qualitative feedback as it continues its work to enhance and validate the proposed Global Internal Audit Standards.  A table categorizing the comments by themes will be published together with the final version of the Standards. Additionally, the rationale for the IIASB’s decisions will be provided. In its monitoring role, the IPPFOC will evaluate this process. 

The Standards will become effective one year after the publication date. The transition plans for the certifications and for the EQA will be communicated in due course.  Please email Standards@theiia.org with any questions.
