Welcome to the Institute of Internal Auditors New Zealand, the professional body for internal auditing
The IIA NZ is committed to promoting the value and credibility of the profession of internal auditing
The IIA NZ is committed to promoting the value and credibility of the profession of internal auditing. Its broad aim is to raise the standard of internal audit practice by promoting the International Professional Practices Framework for all internal audit practitioners and, in doing so, further raise the profile and standing of the internal audit profession. To be recognised as fundamental to good governance and organisational success in the New Zealand environment, IIA NZ has determined that the Advocacy Committee’s activities are best placed to achieve these goals.
Advocacy’s goal is to ensure all organisations and their stakeholders (public and private sector) understand and value the purpose and practice of internal auditing. Sustained demand for, and supply of, qualified internal auditors to service organisation’s needs is crucial to meeting our commitment and goals.
The Advocacy Committee supports this by:
The Advocacy Committee continually reviews the stakeholders that are important to the IIA in achieving our strategic objectives. The Committee has appointed relationship managers who have developed Relationship Development Plans to ensure mutually beneficial outcomes. The stakeholders listed below are our current priorities. There are a further group of stakeholders who we interact with from time to time as a ‘watching brief’ and they are also listed below.

IIA Advocacy |
Successful advocacy means honing and promoting key messages to inform and promote the fundamental elements that make an organisation’s internal audit function an essential element in effective governance.
Internal audit is indispensable to governance, and governance supports the success of all organisations. The focus of advocacy and The IIA’s 2030 vision for the profession is that internal audit be recognised as such by the year 2030. To that end, the Global Advocacy Platform document comprises core messages highlighting the nature and value of internal audit, and how it is objective, competent, independent, and trusted. The messaging regarding the contribution of internal audit to governance and risk management addresses the following questions:
Collectively, these aim to capture in plain terms the central role internal auditors play in helping organisations achieve their goals.
Position Papers assist a wide range of interested parties but are primarily designed to inform and educate internal audit stakeholders on issues of importance to The IIA and the profession. Their focus is generally related to significant governance, risk, or control issues, and delineating the associated roles and responsibilities of internal auditing.
