PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

San Francisco IIA Members,

As we head into the Holiday Season I would like to thank our long list of volunteers for helping us kickoff an incredible new year.  Our average lunch attendance has doubled from last year and we set a record for attendance with over 75 people at our one-day seminar in October.  That’s more people than our last two years of seminars combined!  Clearly we struck a chord in terms of price ($75 for 8 CPEs) and content. The feedback was tremendous and we are already planning the next seminar event for sometime in early Spring 2012. 

As stewards of our profession our chapter leadership has partnered with a prestigious local university to create a Masters of Internal Audit program.  The mission is to develop a world class program at the University of San Francisco focused on thought leadership for the profession and embrace the fundamental values of the USF and the IIA.   Our vision incorporates:

• Accreditation - Participation the IIA’s Internal Auditing Education Partnership Program;
• Research – Conducting and providing research to propel the profession forward; and,
• Academic Excellence – Providing a distinct education from foremost educators. 

Our short-term goal is to conduct at least two internal audit courses within the next year and we’re currently interviewing candidates to teach.  Candidates must have at least a Masters degree and be a Certified Internal Auditor.  If you or someone you know is interested please contact Dominic Daher, chapter VP Academic Relations, at 415-422-5124 or dldaher@usfca.edu.

We thank you for your continued support and we wish all a safe and Happy Holidays!

Best regards,

Jared Lauber, CIA
