The Institute of Internal Auditors is recognized as the authority that establishes the guidelines and standards for the internal audit profession. The framework guides auditors in utilizing a structure methodology when performing internal audit evaluations.

This text base course provided in 6 sections. This section deals with concepts of internal audit’s role in the organizational governance process.

As the world has rapidly evolved over the past several years, internal auditors have been called on to provide a wide array of services. Yet, management often does not understand the full breadth of the IIA Standards and protocols auditors should follow when performing both Assurance services and Consulting services.

This set of courses on “The Internal Audit Function” was developed by Lynn Fountain, CPA, CGMA, CRMA, MBA, cPIA and past Chief Audit Executive. Lynn authored the book Leading the Internal Audit Function which was released by Taylor & Francis in 2017. In the book she outlines not only the Standards and expectations for internal auditors but the many challenges individuals in the profession face when trying to execute their duties.
