The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) is offering a new Global Knowledge Brief to help internal auditors understand how to approach assessments of social equity and corporate social responsibility within their organizations’ strategies and cultures.
“At an increasingly rapid rate, social equity and justice movements garner global attention and power,” the IIA says. “Stakeholders, including employees, customers, and investors, are putting pressure on corporations to lead transformative change, and the United Nations has stated that the private sector must join the public sector to reduce inequality and achieve the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.”
The Global Knowledge Brief outlines considerations for baseline audit engagements and tips for organizations’ diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
