The IPPF as the conceptual framework that organizes authoritative guidance for internal audit practitioners was revamped by the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) in July 2015. Additional changes to the IPPF and the ISPPIA came into effect in 2017, including:
- Enhancements to existing standards on communications and quality assurance;
- The creation of two new standards that address roles of internal audit functions and objectivity in both assurance and consulting engagements;
- The alignment of existing standards to the set of Core Principles that were incorporated into the IPPF.
These changes are relevant for internal auditors in both private and public sectors, and were implemented to help internal auditors meet demands created by an evolving and dynamic organizational environment.
