Global Guidance Council

About the GGC

The Global Guidance Council’s mission is to direct the development of IPPF authoritative guidance and thought leadership in support of internal auditors globally and to assist with the development of Topical Requirements.

The IIA provides mandatory and recommended guidance to internal auditors worldwide. The Global Guidance Council is responsible for advising The IIA on the strategic direction of its authoritative guidance, tools, and other content within the constructs of Topical Requirements, General Guidance, IT Guidance, Public Sector Guidance, ESG Guidance and Financial Services Guidance. This is achieved through an extensive, ongoing due process overseen by an independent body, the International Professional Practices Framework Oversight Council. The process includes soliciting input from and considering the interests of various stakeholders—including internal audit practitioners, industry experts, government bodies, regulatory agencies, public representatives, and others—so that The IIA’s Topical Requirements and Global Guidance reflect diverse needs and priorities.
