Hello, Western NY IIA Members!
The time for our annual all-day IT event is almost here! Our Board has been working diligently with our partners from ISACA WNY to make this year the best one yet. We are so excited about the lineup of speakers and topics we have put together, including our first ever breakout sessions surrounding hands-on data analytics training! Even more exciting is that our registration count has hit an all-time high this year! By attending this event, you’ll have the opportunity to network with over 100 of your peers from WNY in the IT and Audit industries! I am looking forward to seeing everyone there!
If you cannot make our February IT event, do not worry! The IIA WNY Chapter has a bunch of great events planned for the next couple months, starting with the next Webinar Series session co-hosted by IIA WNY, IIA Rochester, and ISACA WNY on February 27th. Michael Redmond, Lead Strategic Consultant of EFPR Group, is all set to present a one-hour CPE training on “Auditing Information Security Using ISO 27001.” Make sure to check out the rest of our newsletter for more information on how to register for this webinar and all upcoming events sponsored by our Chapter and by other organizations within the area.
Alycia Ivancie of the Western New York Junior Achievement Program joined us during our January Webinar to provide you all with more information on the Program itself and the many ways each of you can volunteer. If you are interested in learning more about the JA Program, or if you are interested in participating in any of the opportunities Alycia spoke about during the Webinar, make sure to send us an email. For those of you who have participated in the Junior Achievement Program at any point after May 2016, please make sure to send me an email ([email protected]) so that we can recognize your volunteer work in our monthly CAP reporting.
The IIA WNY Board is happy to congratulate Patrick Byrne, Staff IT Auditor of M&T Bank, on being named our Member Spotlight of the Month! I have had the pleasure of working with Pat both in my career and on our IIA Board of Directors over the last couple years; he is truly someone that always goes above and beyond expectations to make sure his audit projects and our newsletters are done to perfection! Even before his participation on our Board, Pat has always supported the IIA with his consistent attendance at Chapter-sponsored events. Please join us in congratulating Pat, and in thanking him for all he does for our Chapter and the Internal Audit profession.
Kindest Regards, Ashley Kinnear, CFE, CISA IIA WNY President

This list is not intended to be all inclusive so please feel free to recommend other appropriate topics you feel comfortable sharing with the class.
If you have the experience and desire to develop and present one of these, topics, or a related topic to a graduate level audience please let us know. The program depends on professionals like you to share your perspective with future internal audit professionals. Thank you in advance for helping to make the program successful.

WNY Member Spotlight
Thank you for serving on the Board, Patrick!
Please describe your past involvement with the IIA WNY. I joined in 2016 and was asked by Ashley Kinnear to join the Board of Directors as a newsletter co-chair in the same year. Lucky me! I have been writing and editing newsletters since September of 2016 and have been selected to continue writing newsletters in 2017 as well. I am no stranger to attending WNY IIA events and I am happy to be connected to such a large network of Auditing Professionals in Western New York.
Where were you born and what has your educational path been?
I was born and raised in Buffalo, New York. I currently reside in Buffalo and enjoy the snow as long as I do not have to go outside. I graduate from Bishop Timon St. Jude High School in 2012. I attended Canisius College and finished my Bachelors in Accounting in 2016. I am currently pursuing my Masters in Business Administration and Accounting and plan to graduate in May of 2017.
What has your career path been?
After a five year run as a part time employee at Wegmans Food Markets, I accepted a position as an Intern at M&T Bank as an IT Staff Auditor over the Summer of 2015. I was able to continue my internship throughout my last year of undergraduate studies and shortly after accepted a full time position at the bank. I am currently an IT Staff Auditor and enjoy making a difference in the Internal Audit department of M&T.
What are one or two hobbies, activities etc. that you enjoy?
When I leave the office my weekends usually consist of attending concerts, hanging out with friends, and practicing with my band. I could never turn down seeing a good Bills game and enjoy the City of Buffalo as much as I can in my free time.
What do you like most about the Internal Audit Profession?
I feel that the Internal Audit profession is always interesting. I am continuously learning about different lines of business and technologies that support our organization and find that there is always more work to look forward to in my career. While going through my studies at Canisius, I was unsure of what field of business I wanted to go into with my career but now that I have experienced how rewarding the profession of Internal Auditing is, I know that I chose the right path!
Patrick Byrne – IT Auditor, M&T Bank
WNY IIA – Open Board Positions
Events Planning Committee - MemberEach Chapter-year, the WNY IIA hosts between 7 and 12 CPE events, either in-person or via webinar. In addition, The Chapter organizes one or more student events for Colleges within the area. This role requires volunteers to commit more time to the IIA than most of the other positions, therefore, the Board always has 2 or more members on the Committee.
Members of the Events Planning Committee assist the President in finding, contacting and booking speakers for each of the Chapter-sponsored events. They are also responsible for contacting and booking interesting venues in or near Buffalo that are appropriate for each event. If appropriate, based on the time of each event, the Committee Members are responsible for selecting menus, bar packages, etc.
If necessary, Chapter members are required to book travel and lodging accommodations for speakers from out of town and providing transportation for speakers to and from events. Committee Members attend all IIA WNY Board Meetings and Chapter-sponsored events.
