Standards for the professional practice of internal auditing
Our professional standards (IIA 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 Global Internal Audit Standards GIAS have been published in English since 9 January 2024. Detailed information and the downloadable document can be found by clicking on the "View our standards" button below.
