The 2017 standards remain in effect during the 12-month transition period.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst the 2017 International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing (ISPPIA) highlights the purpose, authority, and responsibilities of internal auditors along with detailed notes on performance standards and ethics, the new standard provides a more comprehensive and holistic approach to internal audit functions.
