Programme Overview
The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) defines risk-based internal auditing (RBIA) as a methodology that links internal auditing to an organisation’s overall risk management framework. RBIA allows internal audit to provide assurance to the board that risk management processes are managing risks effectively, in relation to the organisation’s risk appetite. Thus, internal auditing should serve as a catalyst for improving on organisation’s governance, risk management and controls by proving insights and recommendations based on the analysis of business processes and data. RBIA is an area that is evolving rapidly and where there is still little consensus about the best way to implement it.
