Recent news from the Institure of Internal Auditors
  • The IIA releases an update of GTAG 1: Information Technology Risks & Controls, 2nd Edition
    The nature of technology is that it changes: making it critical to ensure the most up-to-date information is available. Since the first edition of GTAG 1: Information Technology Controls, was issued in 2005, the technology landscape has exploded, warranting an update of the guide. The second edition of GTAG 1 still focuses on helping chief audit executives (CAEs) and their teams keep pace with the ever-changing and sometimes complex world of information technology (IT) by providing an overview of IT related risks and controls written in a reader-friendly style for non-technical business executives.  However, it addresses critical developments since the first edition’s release.                                                                                                                      Both senior management and the audit committee have an expectation that the internal audit activity will provide assurance around all important risks, including those introduced or enabled by the implementation of IT.  The GTAG series helps the CAE and internal auditors become more knowledgeable of the risk, control, and governance issues surrounding technology.  The goal of GTAG 1 is to help internal auditors become more comfortable with general IT controls so they can confidently communicate with their audit committee and exchange risk and control ideas with the chief information officer (CIO) and IT management. This GTAG describes how members of governing bodies, executives, IT professionals, and internal auditors address significant IT related risk and control issues and presents relevant frameworks for assessing IT risk and controls. Moreover, it sets the stage for subsequent GTAG’s that cover specific IT topics, as well as associated business roles and responsibilities in greater detail. Download now.
  • New from The IIA Research Foundation! Advancing Organizational Governance: Internal Audit?s Role
    Long gone are the days when internal audit simply tested controls. Today, practitioners have a multi-dimensional job description that focuses on adding value and meeting stakeholder demands on a number of fronts. One issue that has garnered significant attention in recent years is organizational governance. It is an area of opportunity for internal audit to demonstrate to true scope of its value. However, before practitioners dive into to the issue, they should understand the roles they can fill, how to approach them, and what value they are ultimately going to add in the process. Advancing Organizational Governance: Internal Audit’s Role is a how-to guide to help practitioners fully explore the tremendous opportunities in this area. Available in hardcover and downloadable PDF. Click here for this and other titles at The IIA Research Foundation Bookstore.

  • American Hall of Distinguished Audit Practitioners Announced
    National Board Recognizes Exemplary Internal Auditors   ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. — The North American Board (NAB) of The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) is pleased to announce the names of the nine inaugural inductees of the American Hall of Distinguished Audit Practitioners. This is the first honor specifically designed to recognize American internal audit practitioners who have made extraordinary contributions to the internal audit profession in the United States.  To be considered for the honor, an internal auditor must exemplify high ethical conduct, integrity, moral character, service, and leadership; and be nominated by at least two individuals who are actively engaged in the profession. Not only have the inaugural members of the American Hall diligently served their employing organizations, but they also have provided thought leadership in advancing internal audit education and knowledge throughout the U.S. The inaugural members of the American Hall of Distinguished Audit Practitioners include Cynthia Cooper, the former chief audit executive (CAE) at Worldcom, who courageously blew the whistle on fraudulent accounting practices and was named one of Time magazine’s Persons of the Year; United Airlines VP of Internal Audit Steve Goepfert, who has been an influential advocate for the internal audit profession and internal audit education, and has held numerous IIA volunteer leadership roles including the 2006-2007 chairman of The IIA’s Global Board of Directors; Ralph Purpur, retired VP of auditing at Estee Lauder, who served as a dedicated volunteer leader for The IIA for more than 20 years and chaired the IIA’s building fund campaign in 2000 that raised nearly $1 million; Director of the LSU Center for Internal Audit Glenn Sumners, who founded the country’s (and the world’s) first higher education program for internal auditing and The IIA’s first Internal Audit Educational Partnership; and Bill Taylor, retired Auditor General of the Inter-American Development Bank, who served in key volunteer leadership positions for three decades, including the 1995-96 IIA Chairman, and one of only four individuals to have received The IIA’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Four American Hall inaugural members received the honor posthumously in recognition of their significant contributions to the early years of the profession. These inductees include one of the three founders of The IIA, Victor Brink, who served as CAE at Ford Motor Company and a professor of internal auditing at Columbia University, and who authored the first internal audit textbook; Bradford Cadmus, who served as the first managing director of The IIA and was instrumental in growing the profession and The IIA globally; Larry Sawyer, widely known as the “father of modern internal auditing,” who wrote numerous editions of Sawyer’s Internal Auditing — the first extensive manual on the profession and its practice; and John Thurston, who was one of The IIA’s founding fathers, its first chairman, and an eminent authority in the field of internal auditing.  “American IIA members have long demonstrated the professionalism, expertise, and leadership required to help set the bar for the practice internal auditing in this country,” says IIA North American Board Chairman Larry Harrington. “We are so pleased to recognize and showcase the dedication and achievements of these exemplary practitioners by inducting them into the American Hall of Distinguished Audit Practitioners.” The IIA serves more than 170,000 members worldwide, with approximately 70,000 residing in North America. ###
  • New IPPF Practice Guide Released: Coordinating Risk Management and Assurance, Supporting Standard 2050: Coordination
    To support members in accurately interpreting and effectively complying with The IIA’s International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing (Standards), The IIA produces practice guidance related to specific Standards. The IIA has released its latest Practice Guide to help leaders understand how to effectively coordinate risk management and assurance activities among constituencies and across organizational functions. Risk management is fundamental to organizational control and critical to providing sound corporate governance. It touches all organizational activities. The establishment of an effective enterprise-wide risk management system is a key responsibility of management and the board; which are responsible for adopting a holistic approach to the identification of organizational risks, creating controls to mitigate those risks, and monitoring and reviewing the identified risks and established controls. They should ensure risk management is integrated into the organization, at both strategic and operational levels.                                                                                        Standard 2050: Coordination states, “The chief audit executive [CAE] should share information and coordinate activities with other internal and external providers of assurance and consulting services to ensure proper coverage and minimize duplication of efforts.” This responsibility requires the CAE’s inclusion and participation in the organization’s assurance provider framework. This framework can consist of internal audit, external audit, governance, risk management, or other business control functions/disclosures performed by the organization’s management team. Inclusion and participation in this framework helps ensure the CAE is aware of the organization’s risks and controls in relation to organizational goals and objectives. As part of the IPPF, this practice guide utilizes the fundamental principles established by the Standards to provide a process for valuing the work of others and assessing the reliability of assurance providers. Ultimately, responsible coordination attracts greater reliance on internal audit, decreasing the cost of compliance and increasing the efficiency for providing assurance. IIA Practice Guides provide guidance for conducting internal audit activities. They represent strongly recommended guidance that includes detailed processes and procedures such as tools and techniques, programs, and step-by-step approaches for effective implementation of The IIA's mandatory guidance. All of the guides are available as a free download to members. Guides are available for purchase to non-members through The IIA Research Foundation Bookstore. Download your copies today!  
  • New IPPF Practice Guide Released: QAIP to Help IA Functions Achieve and Maintain Quality
    Quality in internal audit is guided by both an obligation to meet customer expectations, as well as professional responsibilities inherent in conforming to the Standards. To help practitioners interpret the Standards related to quality, The IIA has produced this Practice Guide, Quality Assurance and Improvement Program (QAIP).  The document discusses the purpose behind developing a QAIP and provides guidance on the key elements that comprise it. It covers those elements required for conformance with the Standards, as well as elements that constitute better practice. QAIPs need to be tailored to the specific needs of each internal audit activity and, therefore, may come in a myriad of forms. However, this document provides a generic framework for developing a QAIP that can be applied regardless of the size or nature of the internal audit activity.   As part of the IPPF, this practice guide utilizes the fundamental principles established by the Standards to provide a process for valuing the work of others and assessing the reliability of assurance providers. Ultimately, responsible coordination attracts greater reliance on internal audit, decreasing the cost of compliance and increasing the efficiency for providing assurance.   IIA Practice Guides provide guidance for conducting internal audit activities. They represent strongly recommended guidance that includes detailed processes and procedures such as tools and techniques, programs, and step-by-step approaches for effective implementation of The IIA's mandatory guidance. All of the guides are available as a free download to members. Guides are available for purchase to non-members through The IIA Research Foundation Bookstore. Download your copies today!

  • IIA Responds to Exposure Drafts
    In its role as the internal audit profession’s chief advocate, The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) provides input on a variety of corporate governance and risk management issues around the world. After surveying members and gaining insights from internal audit thought leaders, The Institute recently responded to several organizations seeking input on newly proposed guidance, revisions to existing guidance, or legislative mandates affecting the work of internal auditors. In August 2011, the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) exposed for comment a Concept Release on Auditor Independence and Audit Firm Rotation. The IIA responded in December by saying that mandatory firm rotation would impose several risks and recommended a variety of alternatives to ensure the effectiveness and quality of financial statement auditing. The IIA will appear in front of the PCAOB at a public meeting on March 22 to present its perspectives. In related news, Jeanette Frenzel – an IIA member, Certified Internal Auditor, and recent member of The IIA’s International Internal Audit Standards Board – was appointed to the five-member PCAOB.   On February 29, The IIA provided comments to the Professional Accountants in Business (PAIB) Committee of the International Federation of Accountants regarding their exposure draft of International Good Practice Guidance for Evaluating and Improving Internal Control in Organizations. The IIA’s comments focused on the competencies required to evaluate an organization’s internal control system holistically, and whether the draft guidance is comprehensive.   The IIA also recently responded to the well-known Basel Committee on Supervision. Basel’s recently released Consultative Document, “The Internal Audit Function in Banks” in an effort to replace a similar document from 2001. As the banking industry and internal audit profession have undergone significant changes in the past decade, The IIA applauded the update and made a number of recommendations to strengthen the guidance – including direct reference to The IIA’s Professional Practices Framework. The IIA’s comments were submitted on March 2.   To view The IIA’s latest responses to regulators and oversight bodies, visit http://www.theiia.org/guidance/additional-resources/responses-to-regulators/.
