Welcome to IIA Switzerland
As a national branch of the IIA, we represent the interests of internal auditing departments within private, public and mixed ownership companies and administrative bodies in Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
Standards for the professional practice of internal auditing
Our professional standards (Global Internal Audit Standards) define the tasks, powers and responsibilities of internal auditors. They set out clear requirements for approaches and quality assurance processes to ensure the efficacy of internal auditing. Our internationally recognised guidelines are principles-based and can be applied to both large and small-scale audits. Adherence to the Standards is mandatory for IIA Switzerland members. They are recognised both in Switzerland and internationally.
The new Global Internal Audit Standards came into effect on 9 January 2025. Detailed information and the relevant documents can be viewed and downloaded by clicking on the 'VIEW OUR STANDARDS' button below.
