Professional standards require Heads of Internal Audit to ensure that their teams enhance their knowledge, skills and other competencies through continuing professional development.
Using a skills matrix as part of the Quality Assurance Improvement Programme ensures that internal audit staff understand the basic requirement for their level of proficiency within the team. Enhancing this through effective risk-based planning, which considers the assurance needs of the future ensures also that the team is well-prepared to meet its client's needs.
