Speaker Database
Populating the database
On an annual basis IIA Headquarters will review Chapter Achievement (CAP) spreadsheets for potential speaker candidates. Individuals noted as "excellent" and have a valid email address will receive an invitation from IIA HQ to complete the speaker survey. Updated speaker listings will be uploaded on a quarterly basis.
Suggesting a speaker
If you are aware of potential excellent speakers for chapter events, please provide them with the link to the Speaker Database Form. Please note that The IIA reserves the right to remove any speaker from the database, without notice, for any reason, including but not limited to the failure to promote the Mission & Goals of The IIA and/or the internal auditing profession.

- The first step is to focus only on speakers who are willing to travel to your geographic area.
- Move your cursor to your country/state/province column and click on the filter (down arrow) adjacent to your country/state/province in line 1.
- De-select the text filter boxes by clicking on “Select All” (to remove the check) and then only click your country/state/province’s box under “text filters”. This will filter the results to only show the speakers who are willing to travel to your geographic location.
- Decide which category to filter on next, based on the importance to you (speaker fees, length of program, language or topic) and filter on that category the same way. This will allow you to narrow your results further. You can keep adding filters, or evaluate your list after applying each filter.
- Once you have identified potential speakers, please contact the speakers to discuss the opportunity to partner with your chapter.
Please note:
- The chapter and speaker are responsible for all arrangements including (but not limited to) travel, honorarium (fees), schedule and all aspects of this partnership. IIA global headquarters will not be involved in this process.
- The IIA does not endorse any of these speakers or attest to their quality. It is highly recommended that the chapter ask for references from the speaker.
- It is recommended that the chapter have a written agreement with the speaker clearly outlining all aspects of the partnership.
