Stakeholder Reports
CBOK Research Resource Library – Stakeholder Study
The CBOK Stakeholder Survey concluded in December 2015. The reports from this portion of the study provide perspectives from stakeholders about internal audit performance. Surveys, interviews, and data analysis for the stakeholder study were conducted by Protiviti in partnership with IIA institutes around the world. Stakeholder reports focus on identifying leading practices that can improve internal audit effectiveness.
All reports will continue to be available as FREE downloads, thanks to generous funding by individuals, organizations, chapters, and institutes to the William G. Bishop III, CIA Memorial Fund.
