INTERNATIONAL INTERNAL AUDIT STANDARDS BOARD RELEASES EARLY FEEDBACK ON NEW GLOBAL INTERNAL AUDIT STANDRADS


During the IIA's International Committee Meetings in Amsterdam, July 13-15, the Standards Board discussed themes arising from public comments received during the public comment period.

The list below shows the level of agreement among survey respondents with each major element of the proposed Standards.

Our survey methodology allowed people to provide the thought process behind their point of view, which is helpful to our Standards Board members and IIA staff reviewing each comment. It is very time consuming, but by understanding the reasoning behind someone's view we feel we can make better decisions.

We also solicited external feedback across the globe, held more than 140 stakeholder sessions, and received more than 50 letters, which the Standards Board members are reviewing.

The Standards Board's international committee meetings were observed by members of the IPPF Oversight Council, an independent body whose purpose is to ensure that the Standards Board adheres to its due process in setting standards.
