4. What is the IA-CM?
• A universal model with comparability – principles,
processes and practices
• To be used globally to improve internal auditing
• Framework for assessing capabilities against standards
and practices
• Communication vehicle for defining and advocating
the importance of internal auditing
• Roadmap and toolkit for orderly improvement
4
5. Underlying Principles
IA Activity’s Obligations
• Be an integral component of effective governance in the
public sector
• Assist organizations achieve their objectives and account for
their results
Organization’s Obligations
• Determine optimum level of IA capability to support required
governance structures
• Achieve and maintain the desired capability
5

6. Underlying Principles
Selecting Optimum Capability
• Three variables
– Environment
– Organization
– IA Activity
• Different capability required
• Auditing must be cost-effective
• No “one size fits all”

dependent upon Initial

7
8. Level 1- Initial
• Ad hoc or unstructured
• Isolated single audits, document reviews, transaction
verification
• Outputs dependent on incumbent skills
• No professional practices or standards applied
• Funding approved by management as needed
• Absence of Infrastructure
• Auditors likely belong to a larger organizational unit
• Institutional capability not developed
8
9. Level 2- Infrastructure
• Repeatable processes or capability established
• Reporting relationships, management, administrative
infrastructure, professional practices established
• Audit planning based principally on management
priorities
• Continued reliance essentially on skills and
competencies of incumbents
• Partial conformance with IIA Standards
9
10. Level 3 - Integrated
• Defined IA policies, procedures, documented and
integrated into organization structure
• IA management and professional practices well
established, uniformly applied
• IA beginning to align with business and its risks
• IA providing advice on performance and
management of risks
• Focus on team building and IA capacity and
independence and objectivity
• Generally conforms to IIA Standards

Level 2 – Infrastructure
Skilled People Identified and Recruited
Purpose – To identify and attract people with the necessary competencies and
relevant skills to carry out the work of the IA activity. Appropriately qualified
and recruited internal auditors are more likely to provide credibility to the
internal audit results.
Essential Activities
• Identify and define the specific audit tasks to be conducted
• Identify the knowledge, skills (technical and behavioral), and other
competencies required to conduct audit tasks
• Develop job descriptions for positions
• Determine proper pay classification for positions
• Conduct valid, credible recruitment process to select appropriate candidates

14. People Management
Level 2 – Infrastructure
Skilled People Identified and Recruited
Outputs
• Internal audit positions are filled with appropriately qualified persons
Outcomes
• Audit work is conducted with due professional care
• There are credible audit observations, conclusions, and recommendations
Institutionalizing Practice Examples
• Visible commitment and support through senior management action to ensure that a
competent and qualified CAE is in place, and the necessary resources are provided to
appropriately staff the IA activity
• Staffing and recruitment policy
• Job descriptions
• Classification system, including levels specific to internal auditing

16. Using the IA-CM as an Assessment Tool
• Understand the purpose and structure of the IA-CM
• Identify the KPAs that appear to be institutionalized by
the IA activity
• Obtain and review documentation re: IA activity,
organization, and environment
• Interview managers/stakeholders
• Confirm the actual KPAs institutionalized
• Determine the capability level
• Communicate and confirm the opportunities for
improvement
• Develop and implement the improvement plan
16
16
17. Principles in its Application
• Apply professional judgment
• Environmental and organizational factors
• A practice cannot be improved if it cannot be repeated
• Capability gets built in steps/stages
• KPAs at one level set the foundation for KPAs at the next
level
• A KPA is achieved when it is institutionalized into the
culture of the IA activity
• All KPAs, up to and including the KPAs at a given level,
must be institutionalized to achieve that level
• Not all all elements need be at the same level 17
17
18. Important Considerations
• All levels in the IG participate
• Organizational management and stakeholder support
• Processes are institutionalized and sustainable

practice

23. Key Messages
• Early involvement (by both parties) in the
procurements to resolve potential risk areas in
time
• Shared understanding of what is procurement
• Integrate lessons learnt from past experience in
future training and procurement practices
• Best practice contract management
• Cost not price
• Performance not conformance
• Consistency in actions.
24. Best Practice Procurement
WILL
achieve compliance,
Compliance alone does not
ensure a best value for money
