What’s HOT December 2017 Event
American Cancer Society Hope Lodge
*** Audit Like a Rock Star ***
President’s Message drawings to help us discover the ever-
evolving standards of politeness that
illuminate the relations between men,
women, classes, and races. Following the
presentation, we will have time to
socialize and network with the chapter
members in attendance. I look forward to
seeing many of our members at this
meeting and getting a chance to catch up.
Also, please mark your calendars for our
spring line up of events. We start in
January with an Ethics Presentation by
Nejolla Korris (and don’t forget, for you
CIA’s out there, beginning in 2018 we will
need 2 hours of Ethics as part of our
requirements). Followed by our Annual
Student Night in February, and the ever
expanding Multi-track event in March.
This year my theme has been “Audit Like
a Rock Star”. I have been publishing song
lyrics that I believe follow the theme.
Now I would love to hear from you. If you
have suggestions for song lyrics, please let
me know… I would love to get more input
from our members.
I hope to see many of you at our future
IIA Meetings and events!
What Else is Inside?
St. Louis IIA Members - I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoyed spending time with your families. November was a busy month for the IIA. We started off the month with our November Meeting. This meeting covered a variety of IT Topics. The meeting was well attended and I hope everyone who was there received a great learning experience. The following week we had our first Roundtable event of the year. The Roundtable included presentations from various people on internal audit staffing and development and careers. Coming up this month, we have our annual meeting and Holiday Party at Bixby Restaurant in the History Museum. We are excited to have Jaime Bourassa, Associate Archivist at the Missouri History Museum, providing examples of communication styles from the library and archives collections, as well as sharing advice from etiquette books, historic photographs, and

November Meetings Recap
November Seminar
The November Seminar featured speaker was John Gatto. John has over 45 years of audit experience, mostly in IT audit
and is a frequent speaker for the BSBSA, IIA, and ISACA organizations. John presented two sessions – a morning session
that addressed key IT audit concepts for the non-IT auditor and an afternoon session focusing on internal audit's role in
ERM and crisis and change management.
November Roundtable
The November Roundtable was held at the E&Y offices in Clayton. Jason Pello, VP of IA, and Jack Pelikan, Director of IA,
both from Caleres, discussed how they have successfully implemented a rotational program within the internal audit
departments they have led (Caleres and Peabody Energy). As a result of this program, multiple IA team members have
identified and attained positions within an array of functional areas, including financial planning and analysis, corporate
accounting, financial reporting, treasury, and information security. They shared their insights on how to recruit the right
people, get buy in from the business, as well as advantages achieved / pitfalls to avoid.
Ted Flom from Brown Smith Wallace discussed the evolution of an internal audit career. Ted also discussed his
viewpoints on how internal auditors can have successful and rewarding experiences throughout their careers.

Check out our
“Quest for Platinum”
status every month!
Chapter Achievement Program (CAP) CAP is the acronym for Chapter Achievement Program. The program has been established on the premise that the basic mission of the chapter is to serve its members first and then the internal audit profession. The program, sponsored by the International IIA, encourages local chapters to be active both for the benefit of the chapter members and of the local community. Local chapters earn credits for the CAP through in the following categories: a) service to members; b) service to the profession, and c) chapter administration. The Chapter Achievement Program is made up of three performance levels: bronze (685 credits), silver (1,060 credits), and gold (1,560 credits). Thanks to your efforts, our chapter has attained gold status every year since 1997. After ten consecutive years of achieving gold, a chapter achieves Platinum level which this chapter has earned since 2006. So what can a member do to earn CAP points for the chapter? Examples, include:
Attend the monthly chapter meetings; Attend chapter sponsored seminars; Utilize the chapter sponsored Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) review course; Earn an IIA certification; Develop questions for the CIA exam; Recruit new members; Present speeches or training sessions; Write internal audit-related articles for publication; Provide an internal audit internship at your company for a student; and Come up with an innovative way to promote the chapter
So, it's easy to contribute and it doesn't take too much of an effort. You can report CAP activity on the chapter website or directly to the CAP Chairperson Brent Statler at [email protected].
