Organizational Context

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the world’s largest humanitarian network, with 191-member National Societies. IFRC is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, together with its member National Societies and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

IFRC works to meet the needs and improve the lives of vulnerable people before, during, and after disasters, emergencies, and other crises. The work of IFRC is guided by its fundamental principles: humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity, and universality.

IFRC has its Headquarters in Geneva; five regional offices in Africa (Nairobi), the Americas (Panama), Asia Pacific (Kuala Lumpa), Europe (Budapest), and MENA (Beirut); and country and cluster delegations across all five regions.

About the Office of the Internal Audit and Investigations

IFRC’s Office of Internal Audit and Investigations (OIAI) comprises two teams: audit (internal audit and external audit coordination) and investigations. OIAI provides independent assurance and investigation services to IFRC.

The OIAI team is based across three locations (Geneva, Budapest, and Delhi). To ensure independence, the Director of OIAI has a dual reporting line to the Secretary General and the Audit and Risk Commission.

OIAI’s audit team delivers an annual risk-based audit plan; oversees and coordinates IFRC’s annual external audit plan; and provides training and capacity building on audit, assurance, and integrity topics, to IFRC and its members.
