Dear IIA Member:

Last September, while preparing to unveil a new Hall of Presidents display at The IIA’s Global Headquarters, I was reflecting on the contributions made by The Institute’s past presidents. As the current president and CEO of The IIA, I was overwhelmed to realize just how much difference these eight individuals have made on the internal audit profession since Bradford Cadmus was appointed the first full-time managing director in 1947.

To me, Brad is a personal hero because he represents the joy that can be found in working at The IIA. (Yes, it really can be a joy to work in your chosen profession.) Imagine assuming leadership of a new association, holding its first conference, and growing membership to more than 5,000 people! Brad thrived on it.

The IIA leaders that followed each put their unique stamp on The Institute and added something remarkable to its growth. Archie McGhee, who oversaw the development of The IIA’s first Code of Ethics, reminds me of the spirit of professionalism. John Harmon, the first and only nonauditor appointed to the position, was a master at association management and was the perfect person to run The Institute in the 1970s. Robert Richmond, who served as chairman of the board and received the The IIA’s Cadmus Award even before his tenure as president, always exemplified service to the profession. Stanley Gross and Pete Wilson remind me of the importance of representing the profession. Stan appeared on behalf of The IIA before the U.S. Senate regarding the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and under Pete’s leadership, the United Nations granted consultative status to The Institute. Bill Bishop holds a special place for me as a personal and professional mentor. He had a truly international vision. And finally, there’s Dave Richards, who led The IIA through an incredible period of growth fueled by the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Each of our past leaders gave us unique contributions — professionalism, international vision, and the joy of a job well done. I count myself honored to be recognized alongside such great visionaries in this issue’s feature story, “The Profession’s Nine Pillars,” page 6. As I continue forward in my tenure as IIA president, I can only hope that I’m remembered with half the gratitude and appreciation that I feel toward them. I am standing on the shoulders of giants.

GLOBAL IIA WEBSITE SERvES MEMBERS WORLDWIDEThe IIA has launched a new global website, www.globaliia.org, an outward sign of its ongoing commitment to serve the association's 170,000 members in 165 countries and 105 regional Institutes around the world. Its North American website, www.theiia.org, will be redesigned and significantly enhanced in the coming months.

The new global website showcases The IIA's core global products, including the International Professional Practices Framework in a variety of languages, features a global event calendar, and acts as a portal to Institute websites worldwide, where additional products, services, and benefits are available. "The global website is truly a reflection of The IIA's global footprint," says Sylvia Gon-ner, vice president of Global Development for The IIA Inc.

The Microsoft SharePoint-enabled website features a clean, professional design that is easy to navigate and enhanced search capabilities that allow users to filter information by topic, language, format, etc. The site's intuitive design and mega-menus also offer visually ap-pealing second- and third-level navigation, as opposed

to a simple drop-down menu, making it easy to find information with fewer clicks.

Visitors to the new global website will notice a number of functional improvements. For one, IIA members can now log in to view the site's member-exclusive content by using their email address, rather than their assigned member identification number. The homepage of the new website also features an interactive map of the world, where users can click on a specific country and be con-nected to the Institute in that region. Other aspects of the site are designed to aid IIA Global's business opera-tions, thereby improving the international association's efficiency and overall service to its members.

The launch of the new global website is just the first step in The IIA's initiative to transition to SharePoint and take advantage of the platform's advanced user-update and collaboration features. In time, the North American website, www.theiia.org, will adopt a clean, user-friendly design similar to the global site with a robust training calendar that will allow users to track upcoming North American events.

NEW PRACTICE GUIDE: INDEPENDENCE & OBjECTIvITyThe importance of independence and objectivity, which has always been significant for internal auditors, continues to increase among the challenges facing internal audit activities in the constantly changing business environment. An ever-growing number of stakeholders, both inside and outside an organization, continue to demand greater transparency, increased disclosures, expanded internal audit services, more professionalism, improved coordination among internal and external auditors, greater responsibilities, and more accountability from internal audit professionals. The Practice Guide: Independence & Objectivity was developed to address these changes and increased expectations. Download this new guide at www.theiia.org/PracticeGuides.

IIA TO LAUNCh NEW vIDEO-ShARING SITE

In keeping with its motto of “Prog-ress Through Sharing,” The IIA soon will launch a new video-sharing site, AuditChannel.tv, that addresses the specific needs of internal auditors and the business community. With “video channels” focused on areas such as fraud, governance, risk, tech-nology, operations, finance, compli-ance, and more, AuditChannel.tv will enable internal audit professionals worldwide to search for and post vid-eos that address the topics of greatest interest to the profession.

The site, officially scheduled to launch next week, also will allow registered users to rate and comment on the video content. Best of all, with most shared videos under five minutes in length, AuditChannel.tv will enable users to drill down to the essence of a topic in a timely fashion.

“Users are finding the information shared to be relevant and timely. It validates what they are seeing in their

own organization and offers new insight on how others are facing challenges,” says Linda Moore, vice president of Global Development for The IIA.

The IIA envisions AuditChannel.tv to be community-driven, with users providing the majority of the content and guiding its evolution. As host of the platform, The IIA will provide content gener-ated from our key activities and share the latest information and breaking news available on the profession.

As an IIA member, you are invited to register as a user of this video-sharing site at www.AuditChannel.tv or www.AuditChannel.tv/mobile (for mobile devices). Once registered, you can view, rate, and comment on the site’s current content — and add your own. Contributing content

is easy. Grab your mobile phone, or sit in front of your webcam, film a short segment (two to five minutes in length), and post to AuditChannel.tv using the instructions provided on the site.

“We hope you are as excited as we are about this new initiative and the potential it has to bring the inter-nal audit community together by exchanging information and further-ing the practice of internal auditing,” Moore says.

Feature story

Through The pasT seven decades, nine visionaries have served as presidenTs of The iia, leading and supporTing The inTernal audiT profession as iT grew worldwide.Many events of historical significance unfolded during the year 1941. American scientist Glenn T. Seaborg isolated and discovered the element plutonium. The first FM radio station in the United States, W47NV, began broadcasting from Tennessee. Europe was engulfed in battle as World War II devastated the continent, and the United Service Organization (USO) was formed to entertain U.S. troops. That same year, on Nov. 17, a small group of determined internal auditors in New York City filed a certificate of incorporation, which led to the formal establishment of The Institute of Internal Auditors.

IIA membership grew quickly from its original 24 members to 104 by the end of the first year, and 1,018 at the end of five years. By 1957, that number had tripled, and 20 percent of members were located outside of the United States. More than seven decades after its founding, The IIA is a dynamic global organi-zation with 170,000 members in 165 countries and territories worldwide.

As The IIA’s 70th anniversary year draws to a close, it has become evident that both The Institute and the internal audit profession itself have made great strides since those early days in New York City. The past seven decades have witnessed key milestones that would not have been possible without the direction provided by the nine IIA presidents who led The IIA during the past 70 years.

Feature story

1. Bradford Cadmus (1947 – 1962)Cadmus was a distinguished author, researcher, and internal auditor. At the time, his actual title was managing director, not president. The Institute’s head-

quarters office was established in New York, although Cad-mus chose to work primarily out of his farm in Connecticut, because his doctor had warned him that he needed to avoid the stress of New York. Under his leadership, The IIA’s membership base expanded to 5,182, and the number of established chapters grew to 73. Cadmus resigned in 1962, but he remained active in The IIA, serving as director of research and education until his passing two years later.

2. arChie mCGhee (1962 – 1971)Under McGhee’s leadership, The IIA established a second office in Winter Park, Fla., and The Institute began publishing Internal Auditor magazine from

that location. In memory of its past leader, The IIA estab-lished the Cadmus Education Foundation, which recog-nized top volunteer instructors providing public training for The IIA. When McGhee resigned in 1971, there were eight staff members working in The IIA’s New York City office and five in Winter Park.

3. John harmon (1972 – 1978)Harmon, with the Board’s bless-ing, chose to move the entire Headquarters to Florida when he came on board as executive vice president in 1972. He was the

only non-auditor appointed to office, but he had plenty of experience as a manager and administrator of organizations similar to The IIA. The Institute saw a lot of progress dur-ing Harmon’s leadership, including significant global expan-sion of The IIA, the development of the Certified Internal Auditor certification program, establishment of The IIA Research Foundation, and the move to a new headquarters building in Altamonte Springs, Fla., in 1977.

4. roBert riChmond (1979 – 1980)Richmond, formerly the divi-sion vice president and general auditor for BF Goodrich Co. in Akron, Ohio, was initially ap-pointed to The IIA as executive

vice president, and his title was later changed to president. He had served as chairman of The IIA’s Board of Directors in 1971–1972, and was a recipient of the 1978 Bradford Cadmus Memorial Award for his many contributions to the profession. During Richmond’s time, The IIA-UK and Ireland was established as the first international institute (replacing IIA chapters), and membership grew to more than 21,000.

5. stanley C. Gross (1981 – 1985)Before Gross took the post as president, he was corporate director of internal auditing for Sherwin-Williams Co. in Cleve-land, Ohio, and was an active

volunteer with The Institute. He served as global chair-man of The IIA’s Board of Directors in 1976–1977. Dur-ing his term as president, the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) exam started being offered on a semi-annual basis, the Quality Assurance Review Manual was published, and membership grew to more than 28,000. In 1987, Gross received the Bradford Cadmus Memorial Award.

6. G. Peter Wilson (1985 – 1992)Wilson, a former deputy auditor general of Canada, was a mem-ber of The IIA for 25 years prior to his appointment as president. He had also served on The IIA’s

Government and International Relations committees and helped found the Ottawa Chapter in 1967. During his presidency, The IIA celebrated its 50th anniversary, held its International Conference in New York City, printed a Spanish language newsletter, and was granted consultative status by the United Nations.

7. William G. Bishop, iii (1992 – 2004)Prior to his presidency, Bishop was general auditor for Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc. in New York City. He also had served as vice president and general audi-

tor of the American Express Co. Bishop represented The IIA as an advisor to the National Commission on Fraudu-lent Financial Reporting (Treadway Commission) and was The IIA’s representative to The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), contributing to its landmark report the Internal Control Integrated Framework. During Bishop’s presidency, The IIA’s website was introduced in 1994, the Global Auditing Information Network (GAIN) was established, the Certi-fication in Control Self-Assessment and Certified Govern-ment Auditing Professional designations were introduced, and the National Association of Financial Services Audi-tors merged with The IIA.

8. DaviD a. RichaRDs (2004 – 2009)Prior to being appointed IIA president, Richards served as the director of internal audit-ing for First Energy Corp. and Centerior Energy Corp in Ohio.

He served as chairman of The IIA’s Board of Directors in 2001–2002 and received The IIA’s prestigious Victor Z. Brink Award for Distinguished Service in 2004. During his presidency, the first Global Council was held in Sydney, Australia, and work began to transition the CIA exam to a computer-based test. There were also advances in global advocacy and academic relations such as the addition of the Internal Auditing Education Partnership program. Eighteen worldwide institutes became affiliated with The IIA during this time. The IIA also revamped and launched a new Common Body of Knowledge study, resulting in more than 9,300 responses from 90 countries around the world. At the time, it was the largest study of the internal audit profession ever conducted.

9. RichaRD chamBeRs (2009 – present)Before his term as president and CEO of The IIA, Chambers served as national practice leader in the Internal Audit Advisory Services practice at Pricewa-

terhouseCoopers. As IIA president, he is committed to ensuring that The Institute enhances its relevancy to chief audit executives (CAEs) and internal audit professionals globally. Utilizing his 35 years of experience in internal auditing, Chambers hopes to lead the advancement of The IIA in its mission of promoting internal auditing as a universally recognized profession. As IIA CEO, Chambers has helped The IIA navigate the turbulence of the recent financial crisis while leading the launch of numerous new, innovative IIA programs and services. This has resulted in financial recovery and stability, as well as ensuring The IIA’s relevancy to the profession.

a soliD FounDationSeventy years later, the solid foundation that these nine presidents laid continues to support and nourish the dynamic practice of internal auditing around the world. Standing tall with integrity and fortitude, The IIA has helped to shape the profession globally and remains poised to strengthen, unite, and serve its members well during the coming years.

AUDIT ExECUTIvE CENTER TURNS ONEAs the inaugural year of The IIA’s Audit Executive Center draws to a close, its more than 500-strong membership is a testament to how the Center is already delivering on its promise to be a single, trusted source of support for chief audit executives (CAEs). Created by The IIA with

direct, hands-on guidance from leading internal audit practitioners, the Center

is a portal to a vast array of services designed to provide CAEs with everything they need to enhance their ability to remain empowered and connected while elevating their ability to stay relevant.

“During our first year, we focused heavily on delivering quality benefits and services to meet and exceed the expectations of our CAEs,” says Donna Batten, director of Chief Audit Execu-tive Services for The IIA. “We’ve delivered on our goal to be an essential resource for CAEs to

have access to timely information, guidance, best prac-tices, and benchmarking as well as networking opportuni-ties. In fact, during the past year we released more than 30 thought leadership pieces alone on a variety of highly relevant topics, including crisis management, emerging risks, and stakeholder expectations.”

The Center also:■■ Kept its members informed of hot topics and

news of the profession via the biweekly CAE Bulletin.

■■ Provided members with detailed benchmark-ing through The IIA’s Global Audit Information Network (GAIN) service.

■■ Held a networking event and reception with speaker Richard F. Chambers, president and CEO of The IIA, to discuss stakeholder expecta-tions and successful attributes of CAEs.

■■ Shared more than 500 pieces of guidance and thought leadership through the Knowledge Center.

■■ Offered members more than 1,500 tools, templates, and other resources via the Center’s Resource Library.

■■ Conducted numerous Flash Surveys on various CAE-requested topics.

Since he joined the Audit Executive Center last year, Nalco Co.’s Director of Internal Audit Keith Kahl has found the Center’s biweekly “What’s New from the Audit Executive Center” email to be especially valuable. “It allows me to be more effective with my time,” he says. “The email provides a quick summary of new publications, previously uploaded materials, a preview of upcoming Center publications and events, and announcements on news of interest.”

Batten’s team recently asked Audit Executive Center members to provide feedback regarding their current Center benefits and ideas for future enhancements.

1 2 / I IA Today / w w w. t h e i i a . o r g

executive developmeNt

Based on that feedback, The IIA is planning to unveil a number of service enhancements to the Audit Executive Center in 2012, includ-ing enhanced website functionality, additional membership benefits, increased networking opportunities, and a continued focus on timely and relevant content.

“The Center has already improved since I joined,” says Kahl. “In today’s world, just executing and reporting on traditional audits is not enough. Internal audit teams need to add value

by delivering sound recommendations to management on how to manage current and emerging risks better, whether through internal audits, advisory projects, or simply having an informal conversation with manage-ment about current or emerging risks.”
