Internal Audit Awareness Resources
At The IIA, advocacy means actively championing the internal audit profession, promoting its value, supporting internal auditors, and engaging key stakeholders to build greater understanding and recognition.
The IIA is committed to raising awareness of the profession and the critical role it plays in supporting sound governance, effective risk management and robust internal controls. These efforts help correct common misconceptions, while strengthening appreciation for the profession within the business community. When senior management and boards truly understand the value of internal audit, they are more likely to support and empower the function. At the same time, broader public awareness can spark greater interest in internal audit as a career path, helping to attract new talent to the profession.
As an internal audit professional, you are central to this movement. Whether you are new to the field, leading a large team, or working independently, you have the opportunity to help raise the profile of the profession.
To support your efforts, The IIA has developed a range of resources and toolkits designed to help you advocate for internal audit and demonstrate its impact within your organisation and beyond.

IIA Position Papers
Position Papers assist a wide range of interested parties, but are primarily designed to inform and educate internal audit stakeholders on issues of importance to The IIA and the profession. Their focus is generally related to significant governance, risk, or control issues, and delineating the associated roles and responsibilities of internal auditing.
