The ECIIA Public Sector Committee is proud to release comprehensive resources designed to support internal audit functions in the European public sector as they implement the new Global Internal Audit Standards (GIAS). These standards, launched in January 2024, offer a robust framework for elevating the quality and consistency of internal auditing worldwide, focusing on conformance by January 2025.
Our latest publications provide tailored guidance for the public sector:

- Appendix: Detailed Analysis of the Standards – A deeper dive into the 15 principles and 52 standards, with insights on challenges and best practices specific to public sector environments.
These resources address unique aspects of the public sector, such as governance complexities, legal frameworks, and the mandate to serve the public interest. They are designed to assist internal auditors in adapting the GIAS framework to meet sector-specific needs effectively.
Explore these publications to understand how to align with the new standards and contribute to advancing good governance and professionalism across the public sector.
