On 9 January, The IIA Released the New Global Internal Audit Standards (GIAS). The new Standards have been designed to help internal auditors – and their organisations – respond better to today’s complex and rapidly changing business environment. Among the notable changes introduced by the IPPF are:
🔹 Strengthening governance frameworks to improve organisations’ responsiveness to rapidly changing business environments.
🔹 Specific guidance to assist internal auditors in the public sector and for small internal audit functions.
🔹 A more flexible framework that can adapt to the unique challenges faced by auditors in different parts of the world.
🔹 Specific guidance and standards on critical areas like cybersecurity.

The Standards provide internal audit principles, requirements, and considerations for implementation in a streamlined format, helping to elevate the quality of internal auditing and enhancing the internal audit function’s role as an essential business partner to boards and senior management.
