An External Quality Assessment (EQA) is an independent review of your internal audit function – measuring how well it aligns to the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) Global Internal Audit Standards (GIAS) and where it can improve.
We deliver a constructive, tailored review that supports both compliance and performance.
What we assess:
- Standards alignment
How well your internal audit function meets recognised professional frameworks. - Audit charter performance
How effectively internal audit delivers on its purpose and board expectations. - Opportunities to improve
Clear, practical ways to strengthen governance, efficiency and value.

Our approach to EQAs
We believe the EQA should be more than a compliance tick-box: our approach is collaborative and practical, designed to give your board confidence while helping your internal audit team grow. We combine independent review with constructive feedback, drawing on leading frameworks and good practice.
The result is a tailored assessment that highlights strengths, identifies opportunities to improve, and delivers clear, actionable recommendations that enhance the governance, efficiency, and value derived from your internal audit function.
Our goal isn’t just to provide assurance. We’re here to help you improve
That means:
- Identifying control gaps early and working with you to put them right
- Helping strengthen governance frameworks, including Board Assurance Frameworks
- Supporting smarter, more efficient use of resources
- Considering risks related to compliance, reputation, ESG and equity
- Giving senior leaders the confidence to act with clarity and purpose
