Quality Framework

Four Pillars of Internal Audit Quality 1. IA Governance (1000, 1100, 1300,Code of Ethics & The Definition of Internal Audit) 2. IA Staff (1200) 3. IA Management (2000, 2100, 2600 & 2450) 4. IA Process (2200, 2300, 2400 & 2500)

Quality Framework: Practice Guide

Path to Quality Conformance Ratings Generally Conforms Partially Conforms Does Not Conform Maturity Level Optimizing Managed Integrated Evolving Initial Opinion No opinion

Challenge Questions 1. Where is your Internal Audit activity on the path to quality (based on ratings or maturity)? 2. What level of quality does the Audit Committee expect Internal Audit to be at? 3. What level of quality does Senior Management expect Internal Audit to be at? 4. Is Internal Audit, the Audit Committee and Senior Management perfectly aligned in the expectation of quality (all 4 pillars)? 5. Where does Internal Audit need to be. and do YOU have a strategy/or plan to get there?

Quality Assurance and Improvement Program (QAIP)

IPPF Check: Standard 1310 Requirements of the QA & Improvement Program Must include both internal and external assessments. Internal assessments must include: Ongoing monitoring of the performance of the internal audit activity - the day-to-day supervision, review, and measurement of the internal audit activity. Periodic self-assessments or assessments conducted to evaluate conformance with the Standards by persons within the organization with sufficient knowledge of internal audit practices.

Ongoing v. Periodic Area Ongoing Periodic Methodology and work papers Supervisor Reviews & IPPF Updates Independent Internal QA & Benchmarking Client Surveys Client Feedback on Individual Projects Evaluation of Overall Results & Interviews Performance Metrics Budget Reviews, Cycle Times Analysis of Results & Benchmarking CAE must communicate results of the QAIP to senior management and the board.

Recent Survey: QAIP Challenges Response % Size of IA activity 14.3% Time or resource constraints 61.9% Lack of perceived need or value 9.5% Other priorities 9.5% Other challenges: 4.8%

Challenge Questions 1. Does your Internal Audit activity have a formalized QAIP? 2. Have all Internal Audit staff and stakeholders bought into their QAIP responsibilities? 3. Is the QAIP custom fitted for your company? 4. Is continuous improvement the leading motto of your QAIP?

The External Assessment

Standard 1312 External Assessments External assessments must be conducted at least once every five years by a qualified, independent assessor or assessment team from outside the organization. The chief audit executive must discuss with the board: The form and frequency of external assessment; and The qualifications including any potential conflict of interest.

Two Options Full external assessment performed by an independent individual or group. Self-assessment with Independent External Validation (SAIV) internal assessment performed with an independent individual or group verifying results.

Byproduct of the External Assessment An external assessment may include process improvement opportunities. Although not a part of the conformance determination, industry best practices enable an Internal Audit Activity to move from good to great. When bidding an External Assessment, it is a good idea to include in the scope of your RFP.

Am I Ready for an EQA? Do I have an established QAIP? Do I have satisfactory results in all areas? Have I performed a complete internal assessment? Use the audit program contained in the QA manual Report results Track remediation; re-test, if necessary You are ready when satisfied with results in all four areas Governance Staff Management Process

Conformance and Beyond

Most Common Areas of Non-Conformance 5. Standard 1210: Proficiency of staff 4. Standard 1010: Recognition of IIA Standards in Audit Charter 3. Standard 1011: Confirm organizational independence by confirming annually the functional reporting responsibility to the Audit Committee. 2. Standard 2100: Performing consulting work 1. Standard 1311: Performing internal assessments

Beyond Conformance Strategic: Strategic internal audit plan Talent: Build, acquire or recruit right talent to meet needs of organization. Trends: Report pervasive trends across audit reports. Combined Assurance: Coordination with other assurance groups within organization and demonstrate how IA results impact overall risk profile
