The Global Internal Audit Standards · 2024

Understand, assess and evidence your conformance — with confidence.

A clear, end-to-end way for internal audit functions of any size to navigate the 52 standards, self-assess conformance, close the gaps, and build an EQA-ready evidence library.

Effective January 2025

The new Standards demand continuous conformance — and the evidence to prove it.

Ongoing monitoring. Periodic self-evaluation. External assessment. Documentary evidence across all 52 standards. For most functions that’s a daunting amount to understand, track and show — which is exactly the problem this tool exists to solve.

A quality assurance and improvement program — established by the chief audit executive to evaluate and ensure conformance — that “includes internal and external assessments.”
GIAS — Quality assurance and improvement program
Every standard contains “requirements, considerations for implementation, and examples of evidence of conformance” — so demonstrating conformance means maintaining organised evidence, standard by standard.

How it works

Understand → Assess → Evidence → Improve

Four clear steps take you from a dense, 52-standard framework to a confident, evidenced position.

1

Understand

Every standard in plain language — its requirements, considerations for implementation, and examples of evidence.

2

Assess

Self-rate conformance against each requirement, rolled up from standard to principle to domain to an overall view.

3

Evidence

Attach and organise your proof, building a library an external assessor can review with ease.

4

Improve

Turn every gap into a tracked action — owner, priority, target date and status — through to closure.
