Quality Assurance Review for Internal Audit Functions


To uphold global best practices, the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) mandates that in-house internal audit functions undergo an independent Quality Assurance Review (QAR) every five years.

At Crowe Malaysia, we provide objective evaluations to assess whether your internal audit function aligns with the IIA’s Mandatory Guidance, including:

  • International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing
  • Code of Ethics
  • Core Principles

Our reviews ensure your audit team operates at peak effectiveness, delivering value while maintaining compliance with global standards.

Our QAR services include


  • Full Assessment: A comprehensive review of your internal audit function against IIA Standards, covering governance, processes and reporting.
  • Independent Validation Services: External validation of self-assessments or prior reviews to ensure credibility and compliance.
