IIA NZ Fundamentals of Internal Audit Training Course - Wellington

Course Overview:

Internal auditing operates in diverse legal and cultural environments, encompassing organisations of varying purposes, sizes, complexities, and structures. Whether performed by individuals within or outside the organisation, the practice of internal auditing must conform to The IIA's International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing (Standards) to ensure professional excellence and accountability.

The International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF), which includes the newly updated Global Internal Audit Standards, serves as the authoritative conceptual framework for internal auditors worldwide. This training course will guide participants through the essential components of the IPPF, emphasising mandatory guidance required for effective internal auditing practices.

The course will provide an overview of the internal audit lifecycle, explore the internal control environment, and delve into audit governance. Through interactive activities, real-life scenarios, and best practices, participants will gain actionable insights and key takeaways to enhance their organisation's internal audit function.
