2016 Case Compe on
See the last page for key dates!
Dear Students,
The Pi sburgh chapter of the Ins tute of Internal Auditors (IIA) Advocacy Commi ee and the Pennsylvania Ins tute of Cer fied Public Accountants (PICPA) and its Pi sburgh Chapter invite you to par cipate in the annual IIA/PICPA Case Compe on. The Case Compe on is an interac ve, educa onal, collabora ve event that will challenge you to work with your peers to analyze data, develop ideas, and communicate your findings. The compe on will also pro-vide you with a glimpse of how Internal Audit can provide you with exci ng opportuni es to learn, develop, and grow your career. Gather a few of your friends and show us what you can do!
Awards and How to Par cipate
The winning team of 3 to 5 par cipants will receive a total of $1000 in cash scholarships, the second place team $600, the third place team $300 and the fourth place team $100. Please complete the a ached registra on and sub-mit prior to the noted due date.
Eligibility
We encourage any undergraduate and graduate students with analy cal minds and solid communica on skills, who are passionate about learning and solving problems to form a team of 3 to 5 members to come and join us! While any student is eligible to par cipate, some typical majors that are sought a er in the audi ng profession are Ac-coun ng, Informa on Technology, Finance, Business, and Engineering (just to name a few.)
Objec ve
The objec ve of this exercise is to introduce the understanding of the concept of internal controls, through real-life scenarios.
Internal controls are evaluated by both internal auditors, external auditors, as well as IT auditors.
Internal Auditors – Auditors who are employees of the organiza on, report to the audit commi ee and pro-vide assurance to the audit commi ee that the company’s internal controls are in accordance with company policies and strategic objec ves.
External Auditors – Auditors who are external to the organiza on and provide an opinion to shareholders and/or stakeholders on the accuracy of the company’s financial statements in accordance with applicable accoun ng guideline, typically GAAP. External auditors must also understand Internal Controls over Financial Repor ng (i.e. ICFRs) as well as Informa on Technology General Controls (i.e. ITGCs) of an organiza on to appropriately perform an audit, and if the company is public, in order to validate assurance on compliance with SOX.
IT Auditors – Internal or external IT auditors can work independently or in conjunc on with internal or exter-
nal auditors on specific audit objec ves. IT auditors provide insight regarding internal controls within the
organiza on’s system and/or associa on with the organiza on’s governance controls over the IT environ-
ment.
The 1st place team will win a $1000 cash scholarship!!

Looking for a way to get more involved with Pi sburgh IIA Chapter? We are al-ways looking for volunteers to aid in building our wonderful organiza on. Taking a leadership role or becoming part of a commi ee will provide a great oppor‐tunity to give back to the Pi sburgh Chapter as well as provide many network‐ing opportuni es! A variety of volunteer roles are available allowing for a range of responsibili es and me commitments providing a perfect opportunity for everyone to get involved! As this year begins, we are specifically looking for volunteers to put their names forward during the nomina on process to run for chapter officer. Du es for the open posi ons are as follows:
Programming Commi ee – assist programming chair with the development/organiza on of a chapter event or two. This could take up to 4-6 hours per month throughout the chapter fiscal year depending on the length/extent of the event.
Educa on Advocacy – work with a professor, accoun ng head, or other at a university to help get the IIA into the university to speak either during a class, or ideally, as a speaker for an accoun ng associa on mee ng.
