The IIA Research Foundation

For more than three decades, The IIA Research Foundation has been a powerhouse of information that empowers internal audit practitioners. As the research arm of The IIA, The Foundation provides groundbreaking research conducted by thought leaders in the profession. Through initiatives that explore current issues, emerging trends, and future needs, The Foundation has been a driving force behind the evolution of the profession, and has delivered:

• Over 200 research reports covering the full spectrum of issues facing the profession.
• Hundreds of internal audit publications, tools, and reference materials accessible through The IIA Research Foundation Bookstore.
• Unprecedented global research that can be leveraged for future projects such as the 2010 Common Body of Knowledge (CBOK) Study.
• Grants and awards that support research by students, educators, IIA chapters and Institutes, and other curious minds looking to make a meaningful contribution to our profession.

Our Time-tested Formula for Success

You may be familiar with the quality products and tools The Foundation provides, but did you know that the true key to our long history of success has been donor contributions? It is through the generous support of donors, not IIA membership dues, that The Foundation’s work is possible. Without the continued support of donors, the ongoing contribution The IIA Research Foundation makes to the evolution of the profession would be in jeopardy. Furthermore, The IIA Research Foundation Bookstore supports 100% of the administrative costs of The Foundation by offering the most comprehensive collection of practitioner-reviewed research and educational products for the internal audit profession.
