Internal auditors should ensure that they are constantly aware of the factors in the environment that may impact on the organisations they serve. It is therefore important that, when members of the Institute look at complying with their continuing Professional Development requirements, they ensure that these aspects are adequately covered.

While the Institute ensures that it provides internal audit related training programs for its members, it acknowledges that it cannot offer every single type of training program internal auditors need to go through. It has therefore deemed it necessary to form strategic alliances with relevant training providers in the best interest of its members.  In the light of this, the IIA SA is proud to have strategic alliances with the following organisations:

The ACFE SA is a chapter of the ACFE, an established and internationally recognised professional body that has the mission to reduce the incidence of fraud and white-collar crime through prevention and education, and the assistance of their members in fraud detection and deterrence. The ACFE is the world's premier provider of anti-fraud training and education. Together with over 35,000 members, the ACFE is reducing business fraud world-wide and inspiring public confidence in the integrity and objectivity within the profession.

EthicSA is a non-profit (Section 21) company and public benefit organisation incorporated in 1999.  EthicSA's work covers a wide spectrum of ethical issues raised by individual and collective human action, with a special focus on organisational ethics and EthicSA is the only organisation currently certifying individuals as Ethics Officers in South Africa.
