IIA NZ Advocacy Committee
The IIA NZ is committed to promoting the value and credibility of the profession of internal auditing. Its broad aim is to raise the standard of internal audit practice by promoting the International Professional Practices Framework for all internal audit practitioners and, in doing so, further raise the profile and standing of the internal audit profession. To be recognised as fundamental to good governance and organisational success in the New Zealand environment, IIA NZ has determined that the Advocacy Committee’s activities are best placed to achieve these goals.
Advocacy’s goal is to ensure all organisations, and their stakeholders (public and private sector) understand and value the purpose and practice of internal auditing. Sustained demand for, and supply of, qualified internal auditors to service organisation’s needs is crucial to meeting our commitment and goals.
The Advocacy Committee supports this by:
- Raising the public profile of the profession
- Creating alliances with influential bodies to raise demand for internal auditing.
- Liaising with universities to create better course options for intending graduates.
The Advocacy Committee continually reviews the stakeholders that are important to the IIA in achieving our strategic objectives. The Committee has appointed relationship managers who have developed Relationship Development Plans to ensure mutually beneficial outcomes. The stakeholders listed below are our current priorities. There are a further group of stakeholders who we interact with from time to time as a ‘watching brief’ and they are also listed below.
