Quality Self-Assessment Validation

Efficient assessment of your internal audit

How do you evaluate your internal audit?

According to the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), in order to make a statement about the quality of the auditing processes, internal auditors must have an external assessment carried out at least every five years by an independent assessor who does not belong to the company.

Benefits

Industry expertise in the field of internal auditing

PwC brings industry knowledge from countless internal audits, DIIR (German Institute for Internal Auditing) working groups, and advocacy groups. You benefit from this. Validation is performed with in-depth knowledge and practice-oriented methods.

Efficient and user-friendly

The Quality Self-Assessment Tool offers you the cost-effective alternative. We provide you with the necessary infrastructure and ensure that you can complete your assessment quickly and efficiently through our tool. In addition, both the process and the infrastructure are modular. You maintain an overview at all times and get the package that suits you.

Compliance and marketing for your internal audit

The results of the review meet all requirements for validation in accordance with IIA Standard 1312. Give your stakeholders comprehensive insights into the design of your auditing processes and also help to meet regulatory requirements, e.g. the monitoring of internal auditing by the supervisory board in accordance with the German Commercial Code. Compliance and marketing in one!
