The International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing requires every internal audit department or activity to have either an external Quality Assessment Review (QAR) or a Self-Assessment review with an external validation by an independent reviewer at least once every five years. This two-day seminar will provide what you need to know to prepare for and to undergo an external quality assessment review. The course will also explain how to conduct a self-assessment as outlined by the IIA Standards. Attendees will gain an understanding of how a QAR can benefit the internal audit activity; learn about the various review methodologies that are available; and discuss the important decisions that arise when preparing an internal audit department for a review.

The course also examines the Professional Practices Framework, including the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing and the external assessment requirements that are mandated in order to be in compliance with the IIA Standards. You will explore best practices in internal auditing and state-of-the-art assessment techniques and practices for conducting a QAR. You will work through a case study developed from dozens of actual QARs that will highlight how the process works and how to apply the IIA Standards when conducting a review. 

If you are a Chief Audit Executive of a small internal audit department who may not have the resources for a full external review, this seminar will cover how you can conduct your own self-assessment review and obtain an independent validation of that review as outlined under Practice Advisory 1312-1 of the IIA Standards.
