Details

The Public Sector Internal Audit Standards are mandatory for all central government departments, agencies and executive NDPBs.

These standards, which are based on the mandatory elements of the International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF) of the Global Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), are intended to promote further improvement in the professionalism, quality, consistency and effectiveness of internal audit across the public sector. The Standards have been revised from 1 April 2017 to reflect the latest changes in the IPPF.
