SIA 130 mandates that the Chief Internal Auditor establish a documented Internal Audit Process and a formal Quality Assessment and Improvement Program (QAIP). This ensures that internal audits are conducted systematically, resources are adequately skilled, and objectives are met in conformance with ICAI Standards.
SIA 120 requires internal audit terms to be formalized in a Charter (in-house) or Engagement Letter (outsourced). This ensures clear scope, authority, deliverables, and the nature of assurance provided.
ICAI’s SIA 110 establishes 10 Basic Principles for all internal audits, focusing on credibility (Independence, Integrity, Competence) and performance (Risk-Based Audit, Due Care). Adherence and documentation are mandatory.
QSIA 2 mandates independent Peer Review (often regulatory) and Third-Party Assessments (voluntary) of internal audit functions to ensure compliance with ICAI Standards, ethical practices, and continuous quality improvement.
