Internal Audit Quality Assessment
The International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing requires that an external quality assessment (QA) of an internal audit activity must be conduct-ed at least once every five years by a qualified, independent assessor or assessment team from outside the organization.

The key to successfully using specialists is flexibility. You may simply want advice in developing your annual internal audit plan or in developing a detailed programme of work. Alternatively, you may want to have our specialists plan, execute the field work, produce the final report and sit alongside you at the audit committee. We can support you with any or all of the above.
