The challenge
The internal audit function had no formal quality assessment in years. The supervisory board mandated an EQA, but there was no baseline, no evidence file, no picture of the gaps.
Our approach
Audirium used the GIAS Self Assessment tool to build a baseline, translate findings into an improvement plan and guide the team through EQA preparation.
The result
The EQA resulted in 'Generally Conforms' across all three IIA domains. The external assessor praised the evidence quality. Preparation costs significantly lower than Big4-assisted approaches.
We went into the EQA with confidence. The tooling meant we had evidence ready; the guidance meant we knew what was expected.
