IIA SA Partnerships - Institute of Internal Auditors South Africa (IIA SA)

IIA SA Partnerships

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.
