Welcome!

It is a new year and as many will have seen we have a new website which is still full of great content to support our members and the wider profession, including audit committees and internal audit stakeholders. If you have not already done so then please go to our website, create your account and start reaping the benefits of this rich source of information.

If you have any ideas for guidance for the Content Hub, or you would like to join our group of volunteer writers and editors then pleas email us: technical@charterediia.org.

Please also make sure that you create your account if you have not already. Even if you had an existing log on our old website, you will still need to create an account – accounts have not been transferred over. Without being able to log into our website you will not be able to access the guidance, so please do and help us spread the word with your network!
