Impacts for Australian banks

  • Board Audit Committees should now formally review their charters and practices with a view to identifying and addressing gaps with supervisory expectations about the internal audit function.
  • There is a variety of potential APRA responses to this final document.
  • The principles focus on issues of ‘right skill sets’ may mean a significant step up for some internal audit functions.
  • The regulatory expectations of internal audit functions is likely to involve specific identification in APRA’s future Conglomerates Policy proposals.
