University
Internal Auditing is well on its way to become one of the pillars in the corporate governance structure. Our interface with other professionals in this environment demands excellent skills in various fields. Board members and executive management expect that Internal Auditors are well educated. The Internal Audit community must encourage education and research in all areas of corporate governance.
A number of European universities have programs in governance, risk management, internal control and the internal audit profession. Some universities are also providing PhD courses and/or are engaged in research in the vast fields of governance.
ECIIA and the Academic Relations Task Force are therefore building a database of European Countries with programs/courses in Corporate Governance, Internal Control or/and Internal Auditing. This database will promote knowledge sharing and will set the stage for future sources of useful information for both professionals and academics.
We recommend, for those who are interested, to contact your local IIA institutes to receive more information, or to contact any of the members of this ECIIA University Network directly.
