The IIA NZ 40th Anniversary Conference 2025 promises to be an illuminating event, taking place from Wednesday 5 November to Thursday 6 November 2025 at the notable Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, specifically in the Oceania Room.

For four decades, the Institute of Internal Auditors New Zealand (IIA NZ) has led the advancement of the internal audit profession, fostering robust governance, trust, and accountability across organisations. As we mark this significant milestone, it's an opportunity to reflect on our collective journey-celebrating the contributions of internal auditors who have shaped the profession while embracing the challenges and innovations that lie ahead.

The IIA NZ Conference 2025 will explore the evolving role of internal auditors in reinforcing organisational resilience, enhancing governance frameworks, and ensuring ethical decision-making in an increasingly complex business environment. The theme, "40 Years of Excellence in Internal Audit: Strengthening Governance and Shaping the Future," underscores the critical role of internal auditors as trusted advisors, helping organisations navigate risk, regulatory shifts, and ethical dilemmas in an ever-changing world.

Internal audit has long been a pillar of good governance, delivering objective assurance, insights, and recommendations that fortify organisations and build public confidence. However, as the risk landscape evolves and organisations face increasing scrutiny, the internal audit function must also adapt. Expectations are higher than ever, with organisations seeking more than compliance and control assurance-internal auditors are now called upon to provide strategic insights that enhance decision-making, uphold ethical standards, and drive sustainable value.
