Who we are

The Institute of Internal Auditors New Zealand (IIA NZ) is a member-led organisation that draws on the skills and knowledge of our members in the private and public sectors across the country. We've been established in New Zealand since 1986.

We're affiliated with and draw on the professional practice Code of Ethics and standards, and extensive guidance and resources of the Institute of Internal Auditors Global and Institutes of Internal Auditors around the world.

Our Vision

Internal audit professionals are widely recognised, respected, trusted and valued as the leading providers of assurance and advice on risk management, internal control and governance for the benefit of organisations and their stakeholders.

Our Approach

• We provide leadership, promote, advocate for and support best practice internal audit within our New Zealand context.
• We provide insight into current trends, ideas and information about our diverse and dynamic profession here at home and overseas.
• We create opportunities for members to increase their knowledge and advance their careers, through continuing professional education, certification and networking.

We are committed to achieving progress through sharing best practices and contributing to the global development of our profession.

Our underlying values are

• Integrity
• Objectivity
• Confidentiality
• Competency

Our 2017 Annual Report details our strategic intentions and results. Among our activities we:

• Uphold standards and promote quality improvement programmes and quality assurance reviews.
• Advocate, promote and publicise the profession to industry professionals, universities, government, public and private sectors.
• Contribute to the global profession with representation on international committees.
• Bring internal auditors together to share their information and experiences.
• Provide internal audit practitioners, executive management, boards of directors and audit committees with standards, guidance and information on internal auditing best practices.
• Provide professional development activities and certification.

Strategic Plan

The IIA NZ Strategic Plan 14 builds on past work and provides a clear focus for three years to help us achieve our vision. It has the full support of our National Board and was developed with input from our Regional Committees.

A key driver of this plan is to gain universal recognition of internal auditing as a profession. Our four strategic objectives for this period are to:

1. Advocate and promote internal audit, IIA standards and professional certifications
2. Enhance our members’ careers and value to their organisations
3. Formalise strategic alliances with complementary organisations and work together to achieve mutually beneficial objectives
4. Attract and retain internal audit professionals.
