While aligning organizational activities to internal audit activities and measuring according to approved IAA performance measures is important, it adds the least direct value to achieving the IAA's objectives compared to the other strategies. Establishing periodic reviews, using engagement results to guide future activities, and ensuring the format and frequency of IAA reporting align with the organization's governance structure are all more directly impactful strategies.
