Are you new to internal audit? Or a first-time user of The IIA’s International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF)? This course is a comprehensive training that offers participants a unique opportunity to develop a foundational and fundamental understanding of the internal audit profession, the internal audit process, and how the IIA’s International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF), including the effective 2025 Global Internal Audit Standards serves as the guiding compass for the internal audit activity.

Whether you are pursuing an understanding of the internal audit nomenclature as a new practitioner; an in depth exploration of the domains, principles, and standards because you are an external auditor transitioning to internal auditing; or even on the staff of a new internal audit department that needs to prepare for building a quality assurance improvement program, this course delivers an enhanced level of knowledge of the professional practice of internal auditing.

This highly interactive, hands-on, comprehensive course begins with an introduction to The Institute of Internal Auditors (The IIA); the widely recognized guidance found in the IPPF, including the Global Internal Audit Standards; and compares and contrasts internal audit to external audit, while also helping you to understand the purpose, authority, and responsibility of the internal audit activity and the concept of governance. This course also provides high-level guidance on how to communicate findings, conclusions, reports, and overall opinions; disseminate results; and establish action plans and monitoring programs.
