Find out more about the Chartered IIA Ireland Conference 2025.
Join us at Croke Park, Dublin, for our annual Chartered IIA Ireland conference. This year's focus is 'raising the standard'.
Throughout the day, you'll enjoy engaging sessions, lively debates, and hear from expert speakers to help you improve your internal audit practice in three key competency areas: internal audit delivery; governance, risk and control; and business acumen.
After that, you'll have the opportunity to network - in person - with other internal auditors from across Ireland.
