The International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF) is a framework for professional practice. An IPPF Standard is a set of statements found in the IPPF Core Competency Booklet that describe what a professional with a particular title or role should know and be able to do. The individual statements are called ‘competencies’ and they help professionals understand the expectations, roles and responsibilities associated with their title/role.
IPPF Standards are designed to help professions achieve greater clarity and consistency in their work, enhance professionalism, facilitate credentialing, compliance with governmental regulations and licensure requirements, determine compensation for professional services, provide a framework for continuing education to maintain competency, develop licensing exams and assist regulatory boards with setting standards of practice in defined areas.

What is IPPF in internal audit?
IPPF Standards provide the foundation of the International Internal Audit Standard, which was created through a close partnership between IIA’s Member Committees and IPPF’s Board of Trustees. The International Internal Audit Standard is designed to help internal auditors throughout the world enhance their skills, contribute to standards for internal audit practice, manage professional conduct and find common ground in the services they provide to their organizations.
The International Internal Audit Standard has three components: a set of 12 principles that provides guidance for professional practice, a common core, and a foundation level certification program.
The common core establishes minimum competency requirements for internal auditors as well as industry-relevant knowledge areas.
The foundation level certification requires candidates to pass an examination demonstrating that they have successfully mastered the competency and knowledge requirements of the common core and must be renewed every five years.
The 12 principles reflect a set of values and ethical principles that guide all members of IIA in their professional work. They were developed with significant input from current practitioners to ensure they reflect real-world expectations and guidance while providing IIA with a set of aspirational, enduring principles that guide internal auditors around the world.
