Chapter Leader Gone, But Never Forgotten

It is with a very heavy heart that the Chapter Leadership announces the sudden and un-expected passing of our dear friend, mentor, and colleague Bill Papanikolas. Bill was a long time member of the IIA and served in many capacities with the Lansing and Salt Lake City chapters over the course of his expansive career in auditing. Bill was a great teacher and mentor and was more than willing to share his knowledge, experience, ad-vice, and counsel to his many colleagues. Bill was always a delight. He was eager to share his ideas and experiences with others in the profession. He was passionate about his work and always a joy to be around. His laugh was infectious and heartfelt.

As stated in his obituary, William John Papanikolas was born January 22, 1952 in Salt Lake City, UT, son of the late John William and Helen Papanikolas. He is survived by

his wife of 45 years, Claudia Papanikolas; their children, Jason (Tiffany) Papanikolas, and Megan (Christopher) Dowell; four grandsons, Alexander, Mason, Caleb, and Logan; sister, Annetta (Ed) Mirabella; his niece; his neph-ew and many other loving family members. He was preceded in death by his parents and his father and mother-in-law, Raymond J. and Billy June Meldrum. William was an Eagle Scout, a Veteran of the US Army serving during Vietnam, a member of the Order of DeMo-lay, an avid trivia enthusiast, an active member of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church where he proudly served as Sunday School director in both Salt Lake City and Lansing for over 33 years. William was an employee of Spar-row Health System for over 15 years. He will be remembered for willingly sharing his wisdom and knowledge as a mentor both in the work place and within his family. His presence lit up every room. Great leaders always speak with their hands, which William did, whether telling a great joke or inspiring the best in others. Bill rests in peace in Salt Lake City, UT. Memorial contributions, in William's memory, may be made to the American Heart Associ-ation or the American Diabetes Association . William was known for being an avid Utah sports fan

Read how Bill impacted chapter leaders. They have shared some of their experiences.

One of my earliest memories of Bill was when I first joined the chapter I was one of those young and eager volunteers

that just wanted to get involved. Right away I started attending board meetings and at the next cycle of a call for

officers, I mentioned I would like to be Vice President. Bill knew what all went into being the Vice President and since

he was outgoing President he wanted to get to know me a little to make sure I was a good fit to carry on his legacy. I

could tell right away how passionate he was about the chapter because we ended up having at least an hour long

conversation about the history of the chapter and what all he has done over his almost 40 years to give back to the

profession. I will always remember at the end of the call when he told me he thought I would be a great addition to

the chapter and how much he looked forward to seeing what I could do with it. I only hope I can live up to his level of

passion that he had for this chapter as we take our next steps forward. He will be greatly missed but he will always be

a part of this chapter’s history. - Kyle Hebert, Chapter President -2017—2018

Everyone always says how wonderful a person was once they have passed. With Bill, it couldn’t be more accurate. Bill was one of the nicest people I have ever had the honor of meeting and considering a friend. I remember when I be-came a member of the IIA and joined the Lansing chapter in 2008, I was inexperienced and clueless about the inter-nal audit profession. Bill welcomed me and made me feel comfortable and part of the group. He was always in a good mood, happy and eager to assist with anything anyone might need. I am grateful that I met him. He was a dear per-son and his absence from the chapter will be felt for years to come.—Melanie Myjak, Board member

“Bill was a great mentor, friend and supporter of his local and global internal audit peers. I believe that throughout his career he has helped numerous individuals to better understand the Internal Audit arena and encourage them to get involved in molding and shaping the profession. He always had a big smile, larger than life laugh, and positive outlook on our future.” Emily Crampton, Immediate Past President

Training Opportunity

Western Michigan ISACA Three Day Seminar

September 12 – 14, 2017

Presenter & Topic:

Event Summary

In this three-day seminar attendees will investigate the risks inherent in the SAP® application and review some of the most effective control opportunities one can configure or design into the application. We will cover the critical business processes required to ensure that SAP is working as intended and that processes/monitoring procedures support effective system control. We will review the risks and general control oppor-tunities provided by SAP and examine the security and basis configuration settings necessary to support a strong control environment for the rest of the system.

In this seminar we will pinpoint the risks related to default IDs, profile parameters, IMG configuration and maintenance and segregation of duties. We will drill down to core business processes, including the financial close cycle (supported by FI/CO), the order-to-cash cycle (supported by SD) and the purchase-to-pay cycle (supported by MM). Within these modules attendees will review critical configuration settings such as field status groups, validation routines, posting and payment tolerances, stochastic blocking, dual control over sensitive fields, minimum pricing conditions and automatic credit checking. We will discuss (and show) key risks and controls within other modules and functions that may be of interest.

In addition, participants will explore where SAP is headed with its SAP Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) suite of applications, and review the auditing and monitoring changes required to move down this path. You will learn how to structure your implementation or upgrade to avoid common audit issues post “go-live.” We will delve into advanced auditing techniques supported by tools within the standard SAP appli-cation, including the Audit Information System (AIS) as well as data analysis opportunities that can be pro-vided by ACL, IDEA and, in some cases, the SAP suite itself. Attendees will leave this high-impact seminar with the know-how to assess systems and provide recommendations for improving both SAP configuration and usage.

Newsletter Editor Says Goodbye I want to take this time to

announce to the member-

ship that I will be leaving

the chapter. Kathryn Krause

has graciously agreed to take

over as the Communication

Committee Chair, taking on

the task of editing and publishing the newsletter and

administering the chapter website. I know Kathy will

do a great job and ensure that all communications to

the chapter membership are timely and full of valuable

information. Thanks Kathy!

I have been a member of the IIA and Lansing Chapter

since 2008 and have enjoyed my tenure. I have met an

amazing group of people, have participated in numer-

ous professional development opportunities offered by

the chapter, and have gained invaluable experience and

a great network of friends and colleagues. I have been

on the Board, served as Secretary, and have been the

Chair of the Communications Committee for some

time. Due to a change in my career, I will no longer be

a member of the IIA and therefore will be resigning my

post as Board member and Communications Chair,

newsletter editor and chapter website administrator. I

have enjoyed providing the chapter membership with

what I hope has been a useful resource, this newsletter.

I know that Kathy will make this an even better publi-

cation and more spectacular than I could have ever

produced. I would like to say a special ‘Thank you’ to

the leadership of the chapter. I have worked along side

many of you with the common goal of making this the

best chapter of the IIA and offer our membership the

training and development opportunities that they need

and rely upon the chapter to provide. I have learned a

tremendous amount about helping run an association

and being part of an oversight group (the board) that

works tirelessly at making the program offerings the

best for the membership. I am honored to have

served with each and every one of you and look for-

ward to crossing paths in the future!

I wish each and every one of you success in all your

endeavors and sincerely thank you for your service to

the profession and demonstrating integrity and hon-

esty within your organizations with the goal of mak-

ing them the best in class! You do important work

and are appreciated. I am proud to consider myself an

audit professional and aligned with people that take

seriously the importance of upholding values that

make our organizations, communities, and business-

es better for its stakeholders.

Warm regards,

Melanie

Tips to Get the Most Out of Reference Checks Interviews reveal a lot about potential hires — but they may leave some stones unturned. Reference checks can give you more insight into a candidate’s experience, abilities, work ethic and more. They’re like insurance policies that could save you the cost of a bad hire. Too often, though, hiring managers hurry through or even skip this vital step. To be doubly sure of a candidate’s abilities before making a job offer, it helps to find out more about that person from other sources. Here are several best practic-es for reference checking that can help improve this important aspect of your hiring process.

Don’t pass the buck

Busy managers often delegate reference checks to human resources staff or another member of the interview team. But if you’re the one the new hire will report to, it’s important that you take the time to speak to their references personally — be-cause you have the most at stake.

Take time to prepare before contacting anyone

Get organized and compile a list of reference check questions. Here are some basic queries:

What were the candidate’s primary responsibilities and last job title?

What are their most outstanding skills or qualities?

What additional training could they benefit from?

How did they react and respond to feedback or constructive criticism?

Would you rehire them? Why or why not?

Pick up the phone It’s quick and easy to simply email questions to everyone on a candidate’s list of references, but this method won’t yield the best results. For one, your email may never even make it to their inbox if they have a strict spam filter. Speaking directly with a person is ideal, as people tend to go into more detail in phone conversations.

Don’t ask close-ended questions Word your reference check questions in a way that requires thoughtful answers, and avoid putting words in the reference’s mouth. For example, don’t ask, “You think Jill is a team player, right?” A better way to phrase this would be, “Can you tell me about Jill’s collaboration skills?” Listen closely for things that are not said Pay attention to cues that indicate a non-endorsement, such as hesitations in a reference’s response or qualifying statements like, “He was a fairly good bookkeeper.” Also, the person’s tone might be telling when talking about certain aspects of a former employee. Document the calls Create a spreadsheet and log the date and time of each reference check. Take good notes during the conversation. Afterward, jot down all impressions you gleaned from the call. Avoid cold calling Start with the references the candidate has provided to you. If you want to contact any person who is not on that list, such as former supervisor, ask the candidate to make the connection first. To do otherwise may come across as unprofessional and put your company in a bad light. And never call a current employer without the candidate’s express permission. Aim for variety Some job candidates will give hiring managers a list of their former bosses. Others may only provide contact information for present and past colleagues. For a 360-degree picture of a potential hire’s technical and nontechnical skills, collegiality, strengths and weaknesses, and so on, try to talk to more than one type of reference. Get expert guidance Reference check regulations differ by state. If you have any doubts about whether to ask references a certain question about a candidate, then be sure to consult your company’s legal or human resources department before making contact. In a competitive hiring climate for accounting and finance professionals, you may be tempted to make an immediate job offer to a promising candidate who aces the interview. But rushing the process can lead to mistakes. So, ask for references and take the time to call all the people on the list. Reference checks are a way to confirm that your golden candidate is the real deal.

Chapter Achievement Program (CAP)

CAP Progress Report

Do any of your internal audit activities earn Chapter Achievement

Program (CAP) points for your Lansing Chapter of the IIA? What is

CAP, why is it important and what can you do to help?

The Chapter Achievement Program (CAP) is designed by the Institute

of Internal Auditors to guide chapters for developing quality programs

and completing administrative duties to ensure it is meeting its

obligations to its membership. Points are awarded for each activity

based upon the activity in accordance with IIA guidelines. The goal is

to provide valuable professional activities and development

opportunities to the membership and earn CAP points while doing it!

Certain activities that are conducted by membership may qualify. If

any of your activities qualify or you would like to know whether they

qualify, please contact Ryan O’Rourke at [email protected].

There are four performance levels that can be achieved.

BRONZE — 685 CAP Points

SILVER — 1,060 CAP Points

GOLD — 1,560 CAP Points

PLATINUM — Awarded to GOLD status for 10 consecutive years.

RUBY— Awarded to PLATINUM status for 10 consecutive years.

QUALIFYING ACTIVITIES

Articles submitted or published in

Internal Auditor magazine

Points are reported to the IIA on the 10th of each month covering three areas:

Service to Members (primarily involves attendance at monthly meetings, conferences and seminars);

areas such as student groups); and

Chapter Administration (involves administrative reporting requirements from the IIA).
