A new report, The Inside Story of Internal Audit Malaysia 2026, jointly prepared by IIA Malaysia and Hays Malaysia, highlights several challenges facing the profession.

We discuss: 


Keeping pace with growth: Whether internal audit and governance capabilities are keeping up as Malaysian businesses move up the value chain and adopt new technology.


Small teams, big mandates: The appropriate size of an internal audit team.


Pay and retention: Whether pay is a reason auditors leave, and what else actually keeps experienced auditors in place.


Building the next generation: What businesses and policymakers should prioritise to meet Malaysia's growing demand for internal audit talent.
