On January 9, 2024, the IIA released the new Global Internal Audit Standards (GIAS). The principles and standards regarding ethics and professionalism in the GIAS replace the former IIA Code of Ethics and outline the behavioral expectations for professional internal auditors, including heads of internal audit functions, other individuals, and all entities providing internal audit services. It is, therefore, important that internal auditors are well informed about these principles and standards, which will be covered in this training.
How do I comply with the IIA Code of Ethics?
Psychological safety and ethics: what are we talking about?
Why doing the right thing in groups is challenging
The confidential advisor
Internal auditors, internal audit managers, CIA holders.
Have completed modules 1 and 2
We will focus on the topic of ‘psychological safety’ and the importance of ‘Speak Up’ as essential conditions for acting with integrity. Please consider the following questions:
– To what extent have you encountered situations where it was difficult for you or others around you to show vulnerability and be honest about mistakes?
– Is the work climate within your audit department or organization open and safe enough to discuss doubts, dilemmas, and risks?
– What ‘unwritten rules’ shape the culture of speaking up and addressing issues within your team?
Where can you go if you suspect a breach of integrity?
– And how well is your organization’s ‘infrastructure’ in place to discuss or report matters (confidentially)?
In this training, you will learn what psychological safety is (and what it is not) and why it is a critical focus area for organizations. You will be provided with tools to make this – often perceived as a ‘soft’ concept – more concrete.
It will likely come as no surprise that acting with integrity is always a balance between an individual’s moral compass and the pressure or temptations from their environment. Group dynamics often lead – often unconsciously – to people acting against their own norms and values in practice. To be resilient as an internal auditor against unethical behavior, it helps to understand these group dynamics in time.
Every employee has the right to work in a socially safe and ethical organization. This includes you, as an internal auditor. In this training, we will delve deeper into the specific role of a confidant and what they can mean for organizations. We will also align with recent publications and best practices in this area.
The training consists of four parts:
1. How do I comply with the IIA Code of Ethics?
2. Psychological safety and ethics: what are we talking about?
3. Why doing the right thing in groups is challenging
4. The confidential advisor
This course is part of the complete moral fitness programme voor internal auditors — helping professionals to recognise moral dilemmas, form well-reasoned moral judgements, and act accordingly.

Afin de maximiser les chances d’ouverture, nous transmettons les convocations 14 jours avant la date de formation pour les formations en présentiel ou présentiel augmenté (hybride) et 7 jours avant la date de formation pour celles en classe virtuelle ou Digital Learning.
Toutes nos formations en présentiel ou présentiel augmenté (hybride) se déroulent à Paris intra-muros. Notre partenariat avec le Groupe Formeret nous permet de vous proposer des lieux de formation adaptés et de grande qualité. La formation se déroulera sur l’un de leurs trois sites (https://www.formeret.fr/). L’adresse du site de formation vous sera précisée dans votre convocation.
Une formation est éligible au CPF dès lors qu’elle se conclue par une certification professionnelle enregistrée au RNCP ou au répertoire spécifique et qu’elle est portée par un organisme français. L’IFACI vous propose des certifications individuelles portées par l’IIA, reconnues par la profession, mais qui ne sont pas enregistrées auprès de l’Etat Français. C’est pourquoi nos formations ne sont pas éligibles au CPF. D’autres solutions de financement peuvent toutefois être mobilisées selon votre situation (employeur, France Travail, région…).
