“Without the collective generosity of our donors and partners worldwide, the Foundation’s work in support of the profession would not be possible,” said Carrie Summerlin, executive director of The Internal Audit Foundation and vice president of strategy and innovation at The IIA.
The Foundation provides funding for academic programs, grants, and outreach activities that encourage students to pursue a career in internal auditing - and support educators who are actively teaching internal audit-related curriculum.

- Chulalongkorn University – Thailand
- University of Pretoria – South Africa
- Bentley University
- Louisiana State University
- Seattle University

“As a Center of Excellence at Kennesaw State University, we have been fortunate with prior IAF grants to promote and grow our program. We look forward to partnering with the Foundation to continue to grow the profession through educational and professional activities,” said Brad A. Schafer, PhD, CIA, Kennesaw State University.
“The grant provided to Chulalongkorn University supports pursuing the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) credential by funding a multi-session study group for students currently engaged in internal audit education at the university,” said Pornanong Budsaratragoon, CIA, Associate Professor, Chulalongkorn University.
