IIA Research Grant on Internal Auditing


In order to serve the expanding needs of the internal auditing profession, in both public and private sectors, The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) Research Foundation encourages, supports, and funds research. Of special interest are research projects that address issues inherent in the IIA definition of internal auditing:

Internal auditing is an independent, objective, assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization's operations. It helps an organization accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes.

Ideas for specific research questions and projects can be found in many ways, including referencing the IIA Research Foundation monograph, Research Opportunities in Internal Auditing or practitioner-oriented internal audit publications. In addition, interactions with internal audit practitioners may often lead to research ideas. Any appropriately applied research methodology including observation, interviews, surveys, experimental work, archival-empirical work and mathematical modeling is acceptable as long as it addresses issues related to the internal auditing profession.


Proposals may be submitted year-round.
