The Global Internal Audit Common Body of Knowledge (CBOK) is the centerpiece of ongoing research efforts conducted by The IIA Research Foundation. CBOK provides a rich overview of how the profession is being practiced and viewed worldwide.
Anchored by a global practitioner survey, there are several components that sustain this vast study, including an expanded stakeholder study.
