The Institute of Internal Auditors, which has experienced unprecedented growth in membership the past couple of years, is reaching out to its global membership to conduct the organization’s biggest-ever research study of the internal-auditing profession.
As reported in last week’s Accounting Industry Update, at the end of this month, the Altamonte Springs, Fla.-based group will distribute a survey with the help of its 66 affiliates worldwide that will examine the skills auditors possess, their educational background, and the types of projects with which they are involved. The survey aims to help the IIA formulate guidance, standards, and certification examinations for its members. It also may provide individual auditors with a better understanding of their organizational roles, as well as ways to benchmark their performance and their positions.
