1.0 CPE This is another lesson in our set of courses on “The Internal Audit Function”. The series 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.
This text base course is provided in several sections. This session overviews the context of the IIA Performance Standards and a review of some of the major challenges when trying to abide by the Standards.
Future courses will cover the Internal Audit Consulting, the Internal Audit Code of Ethics and internal audit’s role in Risk Management and Governance and Managing the function.

A good way to test how you remember the standards. Liked the pdf with "challenge" parts where I could see myself in some of them.
