About IIA Canada

Celebrating 80 Years in Canada

IIA Canada - Elevating Impact Since 1944

Established in 1941, The Institute of Internal Auditors (The IIA) is an international professional association with its global headquarters in Lake Mary, Florida, USA. The IIA is the internal audit profession's global voice, recognized authority, acknowledged leader, chief advocate, and principal educator.

The Institute of Internal Auditors Canada (IIA Canada) is affiliated with this global body, serving the needs of more than 8,000 members in Canada. The first Canadian IIA Chapter was established in Toronto in 1944, and now includes 12 Chapters nationwide. IIA Canada partners with chapters to provide training, professional development, research, and services for its members and advocate for the profession to key governments, regulatory bodies, and related organizations.

IIA Canada members continue to enjoy the same benefits offered by The IIA North American Service Center, including local, national, and global professional networking, world-class training, certifications, standards and guidance, research, executive development, career opportunities, and more.
