Chartered IIA is publishing a series of benchmarking presentations for members that are based on an analysis of the responses to our recent Health of the IA Profession Survey. This is the first of a series, with others following in January and February 2025.
The purpose is to provide some benchmarking information and discussion points for internal audit functions to use and consider. We are also aiming to highlighting the kind of output that is available from this survey, with the hope of pursuing this survey on a larger, more regular basis.
The presentations will not provide analysis or commentary on the statistics themselves, and users should understand they are based on a relatively small sample (ie the responses of 216 member participants from across the UK & Ireland, as well as role levels, sectors and industries).
A full report is intended to be published after this series, which will provide analysis on the statistical information contained in the presentations as well as on the comments provided by participants as part of completing the survey.
Based on feedback to these presentations, our longer-term aim will be to ask members to respond in greater numbers to this survey again in Autumn 2025 - so that we can then share an updated set of data, analyses, commentary and conclusions that are statistically more representative of the IA profession as a whole.
