IIA ANNOUNCES REvISED STANDARDSIn keeping with our mission to constantly update and maintain the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing (Standards) in a timely and relevant way, The IIA has announced 26 revisions to the Stan-dards that will take effect January 1, 2011. The revisions include the addition of three new standards, 15 changes to standards, the deletion of two standards, and the addition of six glossary definitions.

Andrew J. Dahle, CIA, chair of The IIA’s Internal Audit Standards Board (IASB), explains why these revisions are crucial. “The Board seeks to ensure that important issues in the internal audit profession are addressed timely and as appropriate through ongoing changes to the Standards,” he says. “This set of changes will help practitioners better serve their stakeholders, interpret the guidance, and conform to the Standards, which are critical to the internal audit profession.”

Perhaps the most significant changes to the Standards concern those related to internal auditors expressing opinions and the declaration of organizational responsibility when service providers are used. New Standards 2010.A2 and 2450 and revised Standard 2410.A1, along with related Interpretations, clarify what is required if internal auditors express overall opinions on the organiza-tion, as well as on an individual internal audit engagement. New Standard 2070 explains that when an external service provider serves as the internal

audit activity, the provider must make the organization aware that the organization has the responsibility for maintain-ing an effective internal audit activity.

“This standard was added because it is important for organizations to recognize that while they may have an external service provider perform the internal auditing, the overall responsibility for internal auditing still remains with the organization,” said Dahle.

To view all of the revised Standards, including a marked-up version showing changes from the existing Standards, visit www.theiia.org/Standards. Please send any questions and comments to [email protected].

IIA RALEIGH-DURHAM CHAPTER DONATES BOOk COLLECTIONThe IIA Raleigh-Durham Chapter has helped to bolster the internal audit program at North Carolina State University by donating to the school a comprehensive 27-book collection as well as a subscription to Internal Auditor magazine. The university offers an undergraduate concentration in internal auditing and has established a student club for anyone interested in the field. More IIA chapters and organizations are making resource donations to colleges and universities in an effort to promote internal auditing. To learn how you can make a donation, visit www.theiia.org/Academic, or www.theiia.org/Subscribe to purchase an Internal Auditor gift subscription.

In an effort to communicate the im-portance of internal auditing to audit committees and boards of directors, The IIA has produced a message tool that conveys the value internal audi-tors provide in their organizations and companies.

The message tool was created as part of an IIA strategy to make internal auditing universally recognized as a profession. Titled “The Value of Internal Auditing for Stakeholders,” the message tool includes a one-page handout and PowerPoint presenta-tion, both of which are easily adapt-able to the needs of any organization or company. Find these materials at www.theiia.org/ValueProp.

“This describes internal auditing from the stakeholders’ perspective – what they should expect from an effective internal audit function,” ex-plains Denny K. Beran, CIA, CCSA, chairman of The IIA’s Value Proposi-tion Task Force. “Although internal auditing is practiced differently in various parts of the world, stakehold-ers everywhere should be able to rely on internal auditing to help achieve their business objectives.”

This initiative was a global effort with worldwide input through commu-nications with IIA institute leaders. The committee was made up of dedi-cated members from eight countries.

In fact, IIA certifications represent a level of credibility and professional-ism that is respected, admired, and substantially rewarded. The Insti-tute’s premier certification, Certified Internal Auditor® (CIA®), is the only globally accepted certification for internal auditors and remains the standard by which individuals dem-onstrate their overall competency and knowledge of internal auditing. The Institute also offers three specialty certifications: Certifica-tion in Control Self-Assessment®

(CCSA®), Certified Financial Services Auditor® (CFSA®), and Certified Government Auditing Professional® (CGAP®). Computer-based testing makes it easy for you to reach your certification goals. For more informa-tion, visit www.theiia.org/Certification and download your free copy of the Certification Candidate Handbook. Look for exclusive member benefits, discounts, and special offers when you register.

3. adhere to the iia’S StandardS.

The IIA’s International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF) — which includes the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing (Standards), Code of Ethics, practice advisories and guides, and other resources — is the most respected and credible source of internal audit guidance and profes-sional best practices in the world. By adhering to the IPPF’s mandatory and recommended guidance, you and your audit group demonstrate the utmost respectability and profession-al competency. To help you maintain compliance with the Standards, The IIA’s guidance team provides members with access to numer-ous continually updated resources through www.theiia.org/Guidance, including practice advisories (PAs), practice guides (PGs), papers, tools, and access to a free monthly webi-nar series. In 2010 alone, The IIA released 17 individual guidance items in the form of PAs, PGs, and Global Technology Audit Guide books — all of which are free to IIA members. Read about updates to the Standards in the News section of this issue of IIA Today, on pages 4 and 5.

4. Benchmark your orGanization.

Expand your awareness of leading audit practices and learn how to enhance your operational effectiveness by participating in the profession’s premier knowledge exchange forum and benchmarking service, Global Audit Information Network (GAIN). Since 1992, GAIN has helped practitioners learn from the chal-lenges and solutions of others as they share, compare, and validate their audit activities. The IIA’s annual Internal Audit Compensation Study also helps you stay up-to-date on compensation trends. For more customized, timely benchmarking information on emerging issues and best practices, you can also join the GAIN Flash Survey Network. Visit www.theiia.org/GAIN for details.

5. Be an advocate. As a member of The IIA, you are part of the internal audit profession’s global voice, and through your daily activi-ties on the job, you play an important role in representing the profession and building awareness of the value of internal auditing. By embracing your responsibility as an advocate for the internal audit profession — instilling pride in the profession, enhancing professionalism, encouraging change, and building relationships with organizations and stakeholders that impact the profession — you not only benefit your own internal audit career, but you elevate the profession and pave the way for future practitioners. To learn more about The IIA’s global advocacy strategy and to access tools to help you promote, support, and further the profession, visit www.theiia.org/Advocacy.

The IIA officially launched its much-anticipated Audit Executive Center in October, responding to our member-ship’s call for more targeted informa-tion to help Chief Audit Executives (CAEs) enhance their value to their organizations and to stakeholders. Created with direct, hands-on guidance from leading audit profes-sionals, the Audit Executive Center is a portal to a vast array of services designed to provide CAEs with every-thing they need to help them stay empowered, connected, and relevant.

“The Audit Executive Center is a reflection of The IIA’s commitment to lead CAEs to success by keep-ing them on the leading edge of the profession and providing relevant insights to the issues and challenges facing them today,” says IIA President and CEO Richard Chambers, CIA, CGAP, CCSA.

Through the Center, CAEs and their audit staff can access benchmarking studies, thought leadership, peer-to-peer knowledge sharing, online dis-cussion forums, networking events, reports that identify emerging risks, information on leading practices, topical research, and news publications. Chet Watson, general auditor for General Motors Co., is one of several CAEs who had the opportunity to try out the Audit Executive Center during its “soft-launch.”

“Stakeholders are looking for us to be at the forefront, anticipate potential critical issues, and be prepared to respond to emerging risks,” he says. “The Audit Executive Center will allow me the opportunity to be proac-tive in the internal audit profession and to ensure my board that we are in front of a very dynamic regulatory and market environment.”

The centerpiece of the Audit Execu-tive Center is its website, which is populated with practical up-to-date research, reports, and publications; houses a collection of downloadable tools and templates such as balanced scorecards and audit programs; and provides instant access to thought leadership on best practices and emerging risks via the site’s discussion forums. To learn more, visit www.theiia.org/cae.

Whether you are a CAE or would like to encourage your CAE to join so your team can

enjoy all the advantages the Center provides,
