Build the capability your audit team needs next

Give your people the practical skills, professional confidence and consistent approach they need to meet changing expectations.

IIA-Australia works with internal audit, risk and assurance leaders to design learning that reflects their organisation, their sector and their capability priorities. From a single team workshop to a structured, multi-level capability program, we help you turn development needs into a practical learning plan.

A focused, no-obligation conversation to identify your priorities, explore suitable learning options and define the next step for your team.

Your challenge

You are not simply booking training. You are building organisational capability.

Your team may be dealing with:

Different capability levels across roles, locations or business units
New expectations under the Global Internal Audit Standards
Emerging risks in AI, cyber, data, ESG and organisational culture
Inconsistent methodologies or ways of working

Pressure to improve audit quality, efficiency and stakeholder impact
A need to develop new auditors, future leaders or specialist capability
A learning budget that must demonstrate clear organisational value

IIA-Australia helps you move from ad hoc course selection to a coordinated capability plan.

Our approach

Learning designed around the work your team actually does

Effective professional development needs to do more than transfer information. It should help people apply better judgement, use consistent approaches and perform more confidently in their roles.

We work with you to understand:

The capabilities required to deliver your audit and assurance priorities
The different needs of graduates, practitioners, managers and leaders
Your operating environment, risk landscape and regulatory context

Existing strengths and priority capability gaps
The outcomes you need learning to support
The most practical delivery model for your people

We then recommend the right combination of bespoke development, contextualised programs and established IIA-Australia courses.

Learning pathways

Choose the level of customisation that is right for your organisation

Bespoke capability programs

Designed from the ground up for your organisation

When your requirements cannot be met by an existing course, we can work with you to design a learning solution around your specific capability objectives.

Your program may incorporate:

Your internal audit methodology and operating model
Your organisation’s risk environment and strategic priorities
Relevant scenarios, case studies and practical exercises
Different pathways for graduates, practitioners, managers and leaders
A combination of workshops, facilitated learning and applied activities
Face-to-face, virtual or blended delivery
A staged program delivered across multiple teams or locations

Best suited to

Large audit and assurance functions seeking an organisation-wide capability uplift, a structured academy, a multi-level development pathway or learning aligned to a major transformation.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Can you deliver training for a team across multiple locations?

Yes. Depending on the program, learning may be delivered virtually, face-to-face or through a blended model. We will discuss participant locations and delivery requirements during the planning workshop.

Can you use our organisation’s policies, methodology or case studies?

Yes. Contextualised and bespoke programs can incorporate agreed organisation-specific material. The level of integration will depend on the learning objectives, available source material and required development work.

Do we need to know exactly which course we want?

No. You can begin with the business or capability issue you are trying to address. The capability planning workshop will help determine the most suitable learning approach.

Can you train people at different levels of experience?

Yes. A solution can be structured around different cohorts, such as graduates, practitioners, managers, specialists and senior leaders.

Can an existing IIA-Australia course be delivered exclusively to our team?

Many established courses may be suitable for dedicated in-house delivery. Availability will depend on the topic, facilitator and scheduling requirements.

Can individual team members attend scheduled courses?

Yes. Individuals can attend relevant open courses with participants from other organisations.

Can you create a longer-term learning pathway?

Yes. Where appropriate, IIA-Australia can work with you to scope a staged capability pathway rather than a single training event.
