Please join us on Thursday, September 5th for the first of a four-part series covering the new Global Internal Audit Standards.  This session will be held virtually and provide 1-hour CPE covering the below topics and learning objectives. 

Topic: New Global Internal Audit Standards (GIAS) - Series (High Level Overview of the Global Internal Audit Standards)

Location: Virtual / Zoom

Delivery Method: Group Internet Based

Presenter:  Liz Sandwith CFIIA

Overview: 

Internal audit professionals around the globe rely on the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing (Standards) and the International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF) to help navigate the complex world of risk management, governance, and control.

The future demands internal audit services that are timely, relevant, and impactful. This requires standards that are insightful, perceptive, clear and direct. The role of internal auditors during these challenging times is to be ready to step forward and support their organizations whilst facing new and emerging risks, staff shortages, reduced budgets, cost constraints and the new 2024 Global Internal Audit Standards.

During this 1-hour session, we will explore the key headlines of the Standards, the areas that may present the greatest challenge and the areas you may be more familiar with, thus providing a level of assurance that everything isn’t new and unfamiliar.

Learning Objectives:

• Have clarity around the background and rational behind the new Global Internal Audit Standards
• Understand the approach and framework of the new Global Internal Audit Standards
• Gain an overview of the key headlines
