April 2014 Volume 50, Issue 9
You may remember that the theme of my year as chapter president has
been, “Adding Value – Making the IIA Work For You”. I hope that each
one of you can look back at the chapter year and say that you have used the
IIA to improve your skills and network. If the answer to the question is no,
there is still two more months left to change your answer.
Here are three things you can do to add value by participating in IIA
activities:
Attend the May 15 meeting at the Missouri Botanical Garden. The speaker
is Sam Fiorello who is the COO at the Donald Danforth Plant Science
Center. Sam will be speaking on the Life Science Revolution in St. Louis.
I encourage you to attend the meeting and learn more about this effort that
could make St. Louis the “place to be” over the next 50 years.
Create a plan to actively participate in the chapter next year by joining a
committee. It is the best way to increase your personal network through the
IIA. All of the committees are listed near the end of this newsletter along
with the committee chairs.
Explore the IIA website at www.theiia.org. There is a tremendous amount
of educational materials contained within the site including the IIA
bookstore, research materials and information on becoming a CIA. While
waiting in the airport or flying in a plane with wi-fi, log in and see how the
IIA can help you.
I look forward to seeing you at the meeting on May 15 – our last meeting of
the year. I am guaranteeing that the weather will be 80 degrees with plenty
of sunshine and the flowers will be in full bloom!

The annual joint IIA/ACFE Meeting and Seminar
was held on March 20, 2014 on Fraud and Data
Analytics. We had a great turnout for the two
speakers, Rich Lanza and Larry Benson. The seminar
covered the use of data analytics to detect and analyze
errors, how to use ACL, Excel and other tools for
data mining and analysis, fraud scoring and weighting
systems, and how to use analytics to maximize the
annual audit plan and focus on organizational risk.
The luncheon speaker, Larry Benson, discussed
identity theft prevention techniques.
Our next meeting is the April Multi-Track Event,
which is being held at the Hilton Frontenac on
Thursday, April 3. There is a phenomenal line up of
speakers, and topics to suit every interest. This event
provides excellent networking and training
opportunities for those looking to obtain valuable
industry knowledge and affordable CPE!
