    • Certification of entities

    International Internal Auditing Standards stipulate that each internal audit department must put in place a quality assurance and improvement program covering all aspects of internal audit and allowing continuous monitoring of its effectiveness. This program includes carrying out internal and external evaluations.

    Among the external evaluations required by Standard 1312, the Certification, which is renewed every three years, guarantees, for the General Management and the other stakeholders of the organization, the sustainability of the professionalism of the internal audit service.

    It constitutes a commitment and an assurance through a professional external evaluation for more conformity, performance and legitimacy of the internal audit.

    In this context, IIA-MAROC strengthened its partnership with IFACI Certification to develop the Certification activity of Internal Audit Directorates and Departments in Morocco and share experiences in this area.

    Officially recognized and promoted by the International Institute of Internal Audit (IIA) and the European Confederation of Institutes of Internal Audit (ECIIA), IFACI Certification issues a label sought by management bodies for the assurance given on the function internal audit, a key component of their organization’s internal control system.

    Benefits and added value of Certification

    Entity Certification provides reasonable assurance that an internal audit department focuses on areas of major importance to its organization, ensures that the quality of its activities is optimized, and responds to the fundamental concerns of senior management.

    The interest in this Certification lies for many reasons; among these are often mentioned its pragmatic character, its reasonable cost, a realistic benchmark source, an adaptability factor, its exemplary testimony and its universality.

    QUALITY CERTIFICATION

    The Certification of Internal Audit Departments is a process initiated, at the request of the member Internal Audit Directors, to carry out the external assessment required by Standard 1300, according to a high added value approach.

    Quality Certification constitutes a quality and performance label issued to internal audit departments which apply the twenty-five proven and concrete requirements of the Professional Internal Audit Standards (RPAI).

    This Reference, resulting from the International Standards for the professional practice of internal auditing of the IIA, presents the prerequisites and forms the common core of our profession, with the objective of a practice carried out in the rules of the art.

    The RPAI, presented in the diagram above, is structured into 6 Pillars:

    Positioning
    Planning and Steering
    Assessment Program Governance Risks Control
    Professionalism
    Performance Quality

    MATURITY ASSESSMENT

    The Maturity Assessment transforms Internal Audit into an actor of innovation, a vector of precursor concepts and forward-looking practices, for a demand for organizational, technological and methodological breakthrough.

    “Who wants to improve must be measured, who wants to be the best must compare”.
