Previous studies have used different indicators to measure the interaction between the audit committee and IAF. For example, there have been efforts to determine the informal interaction between the two (Zaman and Sarens, 2013), reporting independence and quality assurance review procedures (Callahan and Soileau, 2010), internal audit budget (Barua et al., 2010; Carcello et al., 2005), the size of the IAF and the proportion of staff with audit experience (Anderson et al., 2012; Mat Zain et al., 2006). In light of the reports in the literature, this study argues that the greater the independence and expertise of the audit committee, the higher the internal audit conformance with the ISPPIA is likely to be. Similarly, conformance with the ISPPIA is likely to be higher when the audit committee has frequent meetings. Likewise, it is believed that the greater the communication between the chief internal auditor (CIA) and the audit committee, the greater the promotion of internal audit conformance with the ISPPIA
