The Institute of Internal Auditors

Hello chapter members!

Last month, we had great turnout for both of our chapter events. Our program on “Continuous Auditing” was attended by over 50 members and guests! Thank you to Brenda Roberts and her Programs committee, discussion facilitator Lisa Violet of Alltegriti, and our distinguished panel of speakers! We also enjoyed a thought-provoking seminar on white-collar crime and fraud prevention and detection presented by Oliver Halle and Associates. Attendees came from as far as Sacramento and the South Bay for this presentation. Thank you to Ruth Powell – VP of Seminars and the super team of volunteers from Chevron, LLNL, and Old Republic Title for coordinating this all-day event!

On April 24^th, Sandra Davis and Ahmad Ghafouri from Chevron made a presentation to the Beta Alpha Psi accounting students organization at Cal State University East Bay, spreading the word about the internal audit profession.

Another successful year

Well, the chapter year is quickly coming to an end and our chapter will most likely achieve Platinum level again for its service to our members! We presented 7 programs and 3 seminars and participated with other Bay area chapters to bring you 2 CIA review courses this year. Our membership base continued to grow, indicating that interest in the internal audit profession is still going strong! Throughout the year, our chapter along with our sister chapters in Northern California prepared for the upcoming International Conference under the leadership of Lawrence de Berry.

The success of this past year was the direct result of the participation by our chapter members and the hard work and commitment of our volunteers, officers, committee chairs and governors. In addition, we benefited from the generous support of the Chevron Corporation which provided the meeting rooms at its facilities in Concord and San Ramon for our board meetings, programs and seminars.

My thanks to all the individuals and companies for their support and commitment to the profession and to the NCEB chapter!

Don’t be left out!

If you have not yet registered for the IIA’s International Conference, you have until June 15^th to take advantage of the local chapters’ discounted fee of $1,050 for the 3-day event! After this date, registrants will have to pay the regular delegate fee of $1,795!

Chapter Achievement Points (CAP) and 100-Point Club

Did you or your internal audit team participate in a Quality Assurance Review between June 1, 2007 and May 31, 2008? Did you have an article on internal auditing published in Internal Auditor magazine or other professional publications? If you participated in any of these activities, please let us know by contacting John Pingatore our CAP/100-Point Club Chairperson at jpingatore@ortc.com. By participating in these activities, you will earn participation points for yourself and CAP points for our chapter!

Summer Interns

Could your internal audit department use an intern over the summer?

If so, please contact Kris Kumaran – Academic Relations Chairperson at Kris.Kumaran@safeway.com who will provide you with contacts at colleges and universities in the East Bay.

Come celebrate with us!

I hope that you will join us at Campo di Bocce for dinner and some games of bocce ball on the evening of May 8^th to celebrate the end of yet another fantastic year!

Please see the Programs section of the newsletter for details and registration information.

‘See you on May 8^th!
