A hallmark of a quality internal audit function is the ability to keep pace in a dynamic environment. Consistently monitoring the quality of the internal audit function provides audit leaders, the board, and other key stakeholders with the assurance that internal audit is performing at its highest level – providing value throughout an evolving organization. An independent assessment of the value of the internal audit function is delivered through an external quality assessment. All CAEs are required to develop a QAIP that includes both internal and external assessments. Internal assessments will include both ongoing monitoring and periodic self-assessment. External assessments may be either a full external assessment or a self-assessment with independent validation.

This course will provide you with the appropriate knowledge and skills to plan, perform, and evaluate the results of an external quality assessment case study. You will also learn about the process and templates in The IIA’s Quality Assessment (QA) Manual so that you can identify opportunities to improve your internal audit function’s quality activities.
