The last external quality assurance assessment of the internal audit function in my Department was carried out in late 2008 with the resulting report being adopted by the Department's Audit Committee in March 2009. This exercise was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Institute of Internal Auditors.

A further external quality assessment has been scheduled to take place in 2018.
