International Internal Audit Standards Evolution to Global: How Is the IPPF Changing?

1. Introduction

In this era of rapid change, complex challenges, and hard-to-identify risks, the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) is committed to transforming the internal audit profession to adapt. The International Internal Auditing Standards Board updated the mandatory guidance of the International Professional Practices Framework and published the Global Internal Auditing Standards. It will replace the 2017 IPPF (International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing), as of January 9, 2025 after a 12-month transition period.

While the core principles of internal audit remain unchanged, the increasing complexity of the risks organizations face and the rapid emergence of new challenges necessitate updating the existing internal audit guidance. Not only AI (Internal Audit) influenced by The New Standards, but also the whole organization. All organizations should prepare for this change and conduct compliance studies for the new Standards by 2025. This means the Board and each line should work together to capture the opportunities of the new standards. The new standards, which can be found on the IIA’s global website, include new subjects like; board involvement in IA, IA mandate-vision- strategic plan, holistic risk approach and coverage, planning-tracking-measuring performance. Principles and Requirements included in new standards emphasis on public interest and the impact of internal auditing on societal well-being. There are also new Topical Requirements and Guidance that help IA functions focus on key risk area such as Cybersecurity, Information Technology Governance, Privacy Risk Management, Sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance), and Third-party Management. With these evolving updates, auditing professionals and business managers need to understand and adopt this very comprehensive new approach. The aim of this study is to make the structural, terminological and content change within the internal audit framework clearly understandable for audit professionals and managers. In addition, it is to raise awareness and provide guidance about The New Internal Audit Standards.

2. Historical Background of Internal Audit Standards

One of the most effective tools for creating and maintaining an effective and efficient management and governance structure in today’s business environment is internal audit function. The core mission of internal audit is to enhance and protect organizational value by providing risk-based and objective assurance, advice and insight to stakeholders. In general, internal auditors examine the processes, activities and objectives of the institution and guide the senior management units to make sound decisions on issues they find important. How to effectively carry out internal audit activities that are important for corporate continuity is described in the Internal Audit Standards. The Standards published by The IIA are the primary mechanism by which an organization’s internal auditors deliver essential services consistently and accurately in a timely and cost-effective manner (IIA, 2024a). In summary the standards; provide a framework for going through with a wide range of value-added internal audits, define the fundamental principles that represent the practice of internal auditing, provide the basis for evaluating internal audit performance and promote improved organizational processes and operations.

Since 1978, internal audit executives have committed the standards for the professional practice of internal auditing to reach the high quality and ethical operations. The basic definition of internal auditing added to IPPF in 20210, Code of Ethics as well as mandatory and recommended guidance. The Mission and The Core Principles of AI were updated in 2017. And the final IPPF which is only globally recognized set of internal audit standards, helps internal auditors navigate complex risk management, governance, and control considerations (Tone at the Top | February 2024). With this perspective, in 2023 Global Internal Audit Standards evolved to support the continued progress of the profession and help organizations management today’s unstable risky landscape. The new standards significantly change some sites of the 2017 Standards and framework. The IIA outlines a roadmap to improve internal audit practices globally in line with these changes and increase their strategic value to organizations. The IIA has charted a course for internal audit functions worldwide to elevate their practices and enhance their strategic value to organizations. The new Standards, are officially valid for practitioners in January 2025. Until this time all internal audit stakeholders need to prepare themselves.

3. Comparison of IPPF (2017) and Global Internal Audit Standards

This study presents a comparative approach of the 2017 IPPF and new standards in terms of structure, glossary and content.

3.1. Structural Comparison

2017 IPPF was including two parts: Mandatory Guidance and Recommended Guidance. Mandatory Guide; consisted of 4 sections: Core Principles, Definition, Code of Ethics and Standards. The Recommended Guide consisted of two parts: Implementation and Supplement Guidance. The attribute and performance standards categories present in the 2017 IPPF no longer exist as separate entities in the 2024 Standards. The new framework offers its users a structure that is easier to understand and use by presenting requirements and applications in a holistic manner, as well as theoretical content. The 2024 Global Internal Audit Standards includes, Topical Requirements, and Global Guidance and introduces a new comprehensive structure that consists of five domains: Purpose, Ethics and Professionalism, Governing, Managing and Performing Internal Audit Services. And includes 15 guiding principles that are supported by 52 standards containing requirements, considerations for implementation, and examples of evidence of conformance (IIA, 2024c). Figure 1 shows the structures of each framework as explained above.
