Conformance vs Compliance with the IIA Audit Standards

Field: Auditing | Delivery Method: Self Study | CPE Hours: 1.0

There is a big difference between conforming and complying with audit standards. The words may seem very similar, and many people use them interchangeably, but they are as different as starting at a tree, or seeing the whole forest.


In this audit discussion with Hal Garyn, we discuss the evolution of the IIA's audit standards from a place of conformance to now what seems more like a compliance exercise to many. Understand the questions you should be asking yourself, your executives, and your audit committee to know how you should conform to the new standards.

Listening to this discussion and asking yourself the right questions will help you address the changes to the standards in a strategic way.
