reason the discipline commands respect. Consistency in approach is vital to ensuring that the internal
audit activity is delivering the quality required by the Standards.
To demonstrate conformance to Standard 2100 ANS -The internal audit activity can refer to the roles
and responsibilities related to GRC as documented in the internal audit charter, audit plans, or minutes
of relevant meetings. Audit plans in particular may provide evidence that the internal audit activity
follows a disciplined, systematic, and risk-based approach. Engagement reports can also support that
results are relevant and add value to GRC processes.
Three Lines Model ANS -The first line role has the risk owner role.
The second line role has the risk control and compliance role.
The third line role has the risk assurance role.
External assurance providers provide additional assurance to ANS -(not part of GRC) Satisfy legal and
regulatory expectations that serve to protect the interests of stakeholders.

IT governance ANS -"the leadership, structure, and oversight processes that ensure the organization's IT
supports the objectives and strategies of the organization."
Key Point ANS -Because IT is now embedded everywhere throughout most organizations, it is important
to understand that it will be part of most areas being audited. All three parts of the IIA CIA exam could
have questions that take an IT perspective. IT-related questions in Parts 1 and 2 of the exam will likely be
conceptual rather than testing on specific IT details.
Objectivity ANS -Internal auditors exhibit the highest level professional objectivity in gathering,
evaluating, and communicating information about the activity or process being examined. Internal
auditors make a balanced assessment of all the relevant circumstances and are. not unduly influenced
by their own interests in forming judgments.
