Introducing the Anti-Corruption Topical Requirement

Kuvaus

Topical Requirements are a mandatory element of the International Professional Practice Framework® to be used with the Global Internal Audit Standards™. Topical Requirements are applicable to all organizations, regardless of jurisdiction, size, sector, or industry.

It is known that the results of corruption include negative impacts to the global economy as well as public trust in organizations and the government. Therefore, the Anti-Corruption Topical Requirement will be published in November 2026 to assist internal auditors in assessing their organization’s anti-corruption programs and activities. In this webinar, you will learn how internal audit functions can approach the implementation and application of this Topical Requirement.

Pamela Stroebel Powers, Director of Professional Guidance for the Public Sector at The IIA Global Headquarters, will moderate a conversation among three internal audit professionals, who were on the Anti-Corruption Topical Requirement development task force. The conversation will be used to introduce the Topical Requirement’s elements and provide practical discussion on how their internal audit functions provide assurance, and possibly advisory, services on anti-corruption topics within their organizations.

The webinar will focus on how applying this Topical Requirement can increase the effectiveness of assessing anti-corruption governance, risk management, and control processes within an organization.
Participants will see that the Topical Requirement provides clear, risk-based criteria for auditing elements of an organization’s anti-corruption framework, helping to ensure consistency and quality across engagements. Additionally, panelists will discuss how to address this Topical Requirement while considering engagements involving related topics, such as third-parties or organizational behavior.

One (1) NASBA CPE will only be awarded to participants on the live broadcast who are logged in for a minimum of 50 minutes and engage on at least three poll questions per each hour of the event.
