Benefits of Becoming an Author

■Worldwide Exposure – The IIA’s and the Foundation’s reputations as leaders and advocates within the internal audit
profession precede every publication as a published product that adheres to The IIA’s International Standards for the
Professional Practice of Internal Auditing (Standards).

■Peer Review – All books, research reports, whitepapers, and products published by the Foundation undergo a peer
          review process by a select team of subject matter expert (SME) volunteers who have expertise in the work’s topic.
          Reviewers provide feedback, serve as advisers to the author, and make valuable contributions to improving the
          product’s overall quality. For the author, peer review validates an author’s work, lending credibility that the material is
          accurate and relevant.

■Professional Editing and Service – Our team of in-house editors works closely with authors to ensure accuracy,
correctness, and quality of the final product. We also have staff to assist with project management and data analysis.
