Course Overview
The GIAS Standard by the Institute of Internal Auditors is a foundational framework designed to guide the global practice of internal auditing, ensuring consistency, integrity, and effectiveness across industries. This course is tailored for internal auditors, chief audit executives (CAEs), and compliance officers responsible for aligning their audit functions with the International Professional Practices Framework® (IPPF®). It specifically supports professionals preparing for the Certified Internal Auditor® (CIA®) certification, which remains one of the most recognized credentials in the field. With over 200,000 CIA holders worldwide and adoption by internal audit functions in more than 170 countries, the GIAS Standard has become essential for maintaining conformance and demonstrating value to organizational stakeholders.
Participants engage with core components of the GIAS Standard through structured learning on the five domains: Purpose of Internal Auditing, Ethics and Professionalism, Governing the Internal Audit Function, Managing the Internal Audit Function, and Performing Internal Audit Services. The training emphasizes practical application using real-world tools such as the Quality Assessment Manual, IPPF Toolkit, Global Technology Audit Guide (GTAG), and IIA’s official Standards Implementation Guidance. Hands-on exercises are conducted within case-based scenarios where learners develop audit charters, design strategic plans, implement quality assurance and improvement programs (QAIPs), and conduct mock external quality assessments (EQAs). A key project involves building a fully compliant QAIP aligned with Standard 8.3, including documentation for board review and evidence of conformance with all 15 guiding principles.
This course directly prepares candidates for the CIA certification, globally recognized as the benchmark for internal audit excellence and required by leading firms and government agencies. Professionals who align with the GIAS Standard often see career advancement opportunities, with CAEs in North America reporting median salaries exceeding $185,000 according to recent IIA compensation studies. Koenig Solutions enhances preparation with 1-on-1 instructor-led training, Guaranteed-to-Run batches, and access to official IIA courseware, ensuring deep mastery of the standards. Upon completion, auditors are positioned to lead high-impact functions that strengthen governance, drive risk mitigation, and contribute strategically to organizational success under the 2024 Global Internal Audit Standards.
