Dear Members, Hope your holidays were happy and the New Year is a positive one. For those of you who missed the December events, our Chapter held its first ever Chapter-sponsored Webinar on “PCI Data Security Standards.” For the first time, our CAE/CFO Roundtable was hosted by an IIA HQ Personnel from Chief Audit Executive Services. Our Chapter celebrated the IIA’s 70th Anniversary with a champagne toast. Thanks to all the volunteer Board members who were instrumental in bringing technological advances to our Programs and engaging National HQ in our professional development agenda. Well done everyone! At the December Anniversary event we awarded our Chapter Academic Scholarships and were joined by two exceptional scholars from CSUF - Liang Deng and Gracia Manopo. On behalf of the Chapter, we wish you both success with landing your first Internal Audit position in 2012! For the remainder of our Chapter year, our Programs will include several full day events such as the One-Day Seminar in April; the Two-Day Fraud Seminar on March 6-7th, and our first One-Day District Conference (co-hosted with 6 local Chapters) at the Anaheim Sheraton on June 2nd. The one-day seminar in January has been cancelled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you have previously paid for this seminar, you will receive a full refund. Please direct all inquiries to our Chapter Treasurer at iiaoctreasurer@gmail.com. This month’s luncheon event will be held at the Equinox on Thursday, January 19th featuring guest speaker, Sumi Shrishrimal from Corinthian Colleges, on “Corporate Acquisitions from an Internal Auditor Perspective.” Please note the change of date. Please welcome our newest volunteers: Kyle Ishii, Newsletter, and Chip Clark, CAE/CFO Roundtable who are assisting Sharon Kuo and Stella Acosta, respectively. Our website contains the most current information about our event schedule. We will also post other audit related training and networking opportunities on this site.
