Quality assurance review for internal audit functions


The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA)’s Global Internal Audit Standards (“GIAS”) requires an independent quality assurance review (QAR) to be performed once every five years.

At Crowe Malaysia, we provide objective evaluations to assess whether your internal audit function aligns with the GIAS in these domains and corresponding principles:

  • Purpose of Internal Auditing
  • Ethics & Professionalism
  • Governing the Internal Audit Function
  • Managing the Internal Audit Function
  • Performing Internal Audit Services

Our QAR services include


  • Full Assessment: A comprehensive review of your internal audit function against against GIAS, covering the 5 domains and 15 principles.
  • Independent Validation Services: External validation of self-assessments or prior reviews to ensure credibility and compliance.
