Effective Interviewing for Internal Auditors

Presented by IIA-Australia and KordaMentha

Ethics underpins all the work undertaken by internal auditors. This webinar provides a practical approach to applying the IIA’s mandatory Code of Ethics. It will outline the key ethical principles that internal auditors should abide by, with practical scenarios as to how these principles can apply in the workplace.

We will look at the core principles, the IIA’s code of ethics, and some examples of ethical situations and how to respond to them.

An introduction to The Ethics Project - research on the changing nature of ethics, recognising three ethical domains in the workplace and the critical nature of ethical learning to the long-term sustainability of your organisation.

A look at the different frames of perception that affect the diffusion of ethics in the workplace.

The recent SOPAC survey has reported around 14% of internal auditors in Australia were sanctioned for unfavourable reports.  This has highlighted the seldomly discussed problem underlying the work of the Internal Auditors.  A recent survey by Deloitte in North America shows a 55% of CAEs were directed to omit or modify their audit findings while 32% were asked to audit low-risk areas. 

On the other hand, the IIA Code of Ethics requires internal auditors to comply with Objectivity and Independence. 

This webinar reflects on some analyses about the issues of internal audit under pressure and examines what the IIA advises.  The objective of the webinar is to bring out the significance of the issue which undermines the internal audit profession.
