QUALITY ASSESSMENT REVIEW (QAR)
Driving Internal Audit Value
In accordance with Standard 1312 of the IIA standards, all organizations, no matter size or industry, are required to complete an assessment of the performance of their internal audit activities (IAA), at least every five years. MorganFranklin Consulting’s Quality Assessment Review (QAR) is an independent and objective assessment of compliance with the IIA standards. We help organizations of all sizes assess the effectiveness of their internal audit function, supplying a detailed action plan that validates their conformance and successful practices and identifies opportunities for improvement between the current and desired states.
360 Evaluation
Our 360-degree evaluation will assess how well the Internal Audit is functioning within your company based on staff, management, and Board interviews and/or surveys and our robust documentation review.
Benefits:
- Helps align key stakeholder expectations and assists in assessing whether the IAA is meeting or exceeding these expectations
- Identifies process improvements and enables best practice sharing for the IAA to improve image, credibility, effectiveness, and value to the business
- Helps establish a roadmap to meet future state requirements (people, rules, tools, and technology) and uses the QAR as a benchmark assessment for future improvement
