According to the IIA ' s Code of Ethics and professional standards, internal auditors must maintain their independence and objectivity. However, they can provide training or advisory services as long as it does not impair these qualities. In this case, the internal auditor can accept the request to deliver training on the organization’s third-party risk management process if she clearly defines the scope and ensures that it aligns with the principles of integrity, objectivity, confidentiality, and competency. This means the auditor should not take on management responsibilities and should ensure that the training is within the boundaries of providing advice and guidance without making decisions or taking actions on behalf of management.
