What is Corporate Governance Engagement?

Some of the most important decisions impacting internal auditors are decided through the collective decisions of corporate governing bodies (e.g., boards of directors, audit committees), C-suite leaders, NGOs, and other professional associations. Therefore, the IIA actively collaborates with global, regional, and national stakeholders to promote best practices, standards, research, and thought leadership that centers internal audit in all corporate governance policies. This engagement is based on the premise that an independent, competent and properly resourced internal audit function is a necessary component of good corporate governance.
