Building Audit Excellence: How Quality Assessment Elevates the Profile, Credibility, and Future-readiness of Internal Audit

Explore how internal audit can move from compliance to excellence through quality assessment. This session highlights the evolution of audit’s mandate, from detection and assurance toward foresight and value creation and why credibility begins with strong conformance to standards. Discover the role of internal and external assessments, including self assessment with independent validation (SAIV), as practical tools for smaller teams. Learn how the IIA Quality Assessment Manual and the new Internal Audit Excellence Framework from IIA Australia provide pathways beyond conformance, focusing on seven pillars: strategy, governance, people and culture, service delivery, operational excellence, digital enablement, and communication. A roadmap for embedding continuous improvement and positioning audit as a trusted peer to leadership, aiming not just for compliance but for excellence.
