Continuous improvement of your Internal Audit function.

Quality Improvement (QI) is a standalone service for strengthening your Internal Audit function: across its full breadth or targeted at a single component, with or without assessment against the Global Internal Audit Standards. Two axes: Design (charter, governance, methodology, resources) and Improve (execution, reporting, follow-up, knowledge retention). QI is independent of the five-yearly External Quality Assessment and can start at any time, with no assessment in sight.

// 01—Our approach

From insight to demonstrable improvement

Quality Improvement starts with a sharp picture of where your internal audit function stands. We assess methodology, files and reporting against the IIA Global Internal Audit Standards 2024 and against the expectations of the board and the audit committee, and translate that picture into a concrete improvement plan with priorities and owners.

We then improve together with your team: from risk assessment and audit planning to file documentation and reporting. Not a report for the drawer, but changes that show in the very next audits and that strengthen your Quality Assurance and Improvement Program (QAIP).

That way you work towards your next External Quality Assessment in a targeted way, without waiting for the five-year cycle.

Frequently asked questions

What is Quality Improvement?

Quality Improvement (QI) is a standalone service for strengthening your Internal Audit function: across its full breadth or targeted at a single component, with or without assessment against the Global Internal Audit Standards. Two axes: Design (charter, governance, methodology, resources) and Improve (execution, reporting, follow-up).

What is the difference from an EQA?

An EQA is the formal five-yearly assessment with an external verdict. Quality Improvement is a standalone service that you can start at any time: you improve in a targeted way without waiting for the next mandatory assessment. It is in line with the IIA QAIP requirements.

How long does a QI engagement take?
