Tulsa Chapter
President’s Message
Dear Tulsa Chapter Members, I hope you are all enjoying the variety of weather from cool stormy winds to the typical hot summer day. As I am writing this article, July is coming to a close. The summer is more than half over and our September meeting will soon be here. We plan to deliver some exciting programs that provide infor-mation and opportunity to enhance your career and develop you as a leader. Much like the weather and its constant change, our careers, our professions, our companies, will con-tinue to evolve and change. The Tulsa IIA Chapters mission is to prepare its members for managing successfully through change and growing into a bright future.
One of the main reasons I chose Internal Audit as my profession is because I believe in the IIA Professional Standards. The old “Red Book” now we refer to as the International Pro-fessional Practices Framework (IPPF). This framework can be applied to everything you do. It has withstood the test of time because it is really based on simple fundamentals of truth and common sense. I encourage you to read and refer to it often.
Internal auditors are different from external auditors because we are internal. Duh! What does that really mean? Our mission is different. We are concerned about the success of the business, not necessarily just the accuracy of the financial statements. Our independ-ence is established through a reporting relationship with the Board/Audit Committee, yet we are company employees with insight from within. Although independent from manage-ment, we share a common goal. Business Success!
To be a successful internal auditor, you must develop relationships with key contacts throughout the organization. Those contacts are generally process owners or other assur-ance providers that report ultimately to the top executives. In order to create any relation-ship you generally look for things in common. Specifically you might try this list out:
Increase profit/revenue (generally top concern)
Decrease cost/risk
Increase efficiency/streamline processes
Decrease time to market for your product or service
Increase market share
Increase customer retention/attraction
As you develop these relationships, make sure you discuss the things that matter. If you perform audits that address governance, risk management, control design, or compliance with controls around one of these areas, you will be speaking their language and making your efforts very relevant to them.
Although we are in the final stages of our planning for the year, there is still time for you to give us your input. If you have ideas or passion around something we can do as a Chapter event, or some special way you want to contribute or serve the Tulsa Chapter, please let me know.
Kip Bloss, 2013-2014 President

BEFORE AND AFTER: An Approach To
Acquiring And Analyzing Active Directory
A significant challenge before even analyzing AD data is, how do you get it? Then,
after you do get it, what do you do with it? This workshop will introduce AD and one
approach for gathering and reviewing its data using VB Scripting and ACL. You’ll
walk away with some scripts and ideas on how to tackle this challenge. Be ready to
do some brainstorming on creative ways to analyze the data.
This workshop is appropriate for Auditors, Audit Seniors, IT Auditors, Data Analysts
and any Accountant who wishes to utilize ACL for data analysis and operational/
financial insight.
This is an instructor led classroom setting group. Users are expected to provide
their own laptop computers with ACL desktop version 9.1 or greater.

General Meeting Announcement
“How do we measure up?”
One of the best things about the internal audit profession is the availability of
information, tools & techniques, methodologies, and best practices to help us
carry out our responsibilities. There are countless conferences, webinars, and
white papers that provide us with guidance and assist us in developing our inter-
nal audit practice.
Even with all this direction and support, the question still arises – how do we
really compare to our peers? How does our group measure up against what oth-
er audit groups are doing in our market? In our industry? One way to truly as-
sess where your group is at, and identify opportunities for improvement, is
benchmarking.
We will walk through the Internal Audit Capability Continuum that was devel-
oped by a group of Chief Audit Executives (CAE). We will then conduct a live
benchmarking exercise with the members of the Tulsa IIA Chapter to see where
you lie on the Continuum. Everyone with a smartphone or blackberry can partic-
ipate in the live benchmarking exercise.
By objectively rating yourself based on agreed upon criteria, not only do you iden-tify where you lie on the Continuum compared to your peers, but you also identify the areas where improvement opportunities exist.

Member Profile—Jami Harris, Secretary
Jami is the 2013-2014 Secretary for our chapter and is the Corporate Auditor at QuikTrip. She is an Oral Roberts University alumnus and is a CIA and CISA. Jami enjoys spending time with friends and family, traveling, and acting in her spare time. She can currently be seen on commercials for Ideal Feet and Quantus Creative, in phone tutorials on US Cellular’s website, and as “Lindsey” in feature film Pawn’s Move on Netflix. She just finished shooting supporting roles in local feature films Army of Frankensteins and Skid. A Thunder fan, she also enjoys sporting events (as a spectator only!), cooking, and being involved with her church.
It was a lemonade stand example in a beginning accounting class at The University of Tulsa that led Katie toward the path of accounting. As a Golden Hurricane, she was involved in many campus activities, including Beta Alpha Psi, and graduat-ed with a B.S.B.A. in Accounting in 2008. She continued into the MBA program at TU and graduated in 2009. After three years in public accounting, Katie joined the Inter-nal Audit group at Samson in June 2012, where she was re-cently promoted to Senior Internal Auditor and is assisting in the SOX implementation for the company. 2013 has been an eventful year so far, as Katie passed her CPA exam in May 2013 and recently got engaged to Jarod during a hot air balloon ride! She's excited about the challenge and opportunity to work with students and to get them interested in the Internal Audit profession.
