Global Practice Guide: Coordination and Reliance: Working with Other Assurance Providers
Organizations use the services of many assurance providers to cover the risks identified in their risk assessments. Coordination among the internal audit function and other assurance providers often creates operational efficiencies and improves risk coverage.
This Global Guidance, aligned with the Global Internal Audit Standards™, describes an approach for the chief audit executive to align risk assessments and coordinate with other assurance providers.
Such coordination includes documenting the level of assurance each one provides over the organization’s risk areas. The guide also describes an approach to assessing the level of reliance that the internal audit function may place on their work.
