MIAA can support Public Sector Internal Audit Standards Assessments

Public Sector Internal Audit Standards (PSIAS) (2017) require an organisation’s chief audit executive to develop and maintain a quality assurance and improvement programme that covers all aspects of the internal audit activity. This programme must include both internal and external assessments.

Under PSIAS, external assessments must be completed at least once every five years by ‘a qualified, independent assessor or assessment team from outside the organisation’.

Sarah Dowbekin, MIAA’s Head of R&D, Quality Assurance and Professional Standards explained: “MIAA provide services for public and third sector organisations across the UK, this includes undertaking external quality assessments (EQA) of internal audit services in line with the requirements of PSIAS. Our approach is flexible whilst ensuring compliance with professional standards.”

Please contact our Head of R&D, Quality Assurance and Professional Standards, Sarah Dowbekin if you would like to discuss how we can support you.
