During its annual international conference in South Africa last month, The IIA elected its 2009–2010 board of directors and executive committee. Roderick Winters, CIA, CPA, general manager of finance operations at Microsoft Corp., was elected chairman of the board. As chairman, Winters will serve — with IIA President Richard Chambers, CIA — as spokesperson for The Institute on all issues relevant to the internal audit profession, as well as foster positive, mutually beneficial relationships between The IIA and other professional organizations around the globe. He also will be responsible for presiding at all board meetings and appointing all committee chairmen and members, ad hoc committees, task forces, and work groups of The Institute. Winters has chosen “Achieving Our Potential” as his chairman’s theme. To learn more about Winters’s theme and philosophy, watch the chairman’s video and read his article in the current issue of Internal Auditor magazine.

Günther Meggeneder, CIA, head of internal audit at Ista International in Essen, Germany, was elected to serve as senior vice chairman of the board. In this role, Meggeneder will be responsible for working with the four vice chairmen to facilitate communication and coordination among IIA committees to drive the organization’s strategic objectives. The newly elected vice chairmen of the board are:

Anne Mercer, CIA, CFSA, senior vice president of internal audit at Universal American Corp. in Houston, who will serve as vice chairman–professional development and be responsible for supervising and coordinating the activities of the Professional Development committees.
Dennis Beran, CIA, CCSA, senior vice president and director of audit at Texas-based JCPenney Inc., who was elected as vice chairman–professional practices. In this role, Beran will oversee the activities of the Professional Practices Committee to develop guidance and issue position papers on topics affecting the internal audit profession.
Philip Tarling, MIIA, partner at RSM Bentley Jennison in Fareham, England, who will serve as vice chairman–professional services and be responsible for supervising and coordinating activities of the Professional Services Committee to ensure The IIA provides the most relevant and comprehensive benefits possible to its members.
Paul Sobel, CIA, vice president of internal audit at Mirant Corp. in Atlanta, who has been elected vice chairman–research. Sobel also will serve as president of The IIA Research Foundation and provide strategic direction for research on the internal audit profession.

Oswaldo Basile, CIA, CCSA, executive director at Trusty Consultories in Sao Paulo, and Michael Parkinson, CIA, director at KPMG in Canberra, Australia, were elected to serve as treasurer and secretary, respectively. As treasurer, Basile will oversee the establishment and maintenance of adequate controls for safeguarding The Institute’s funds. As secretary, Parkinson will be responsible for notifying the Board of Directors and IIA members about meetings and keeping records of these meetings.

“Like many organizations today, The IIA faces a challenging environment in which to do business. But our board is poised to not only lead us through these challenges, but also identify the opportunities to make us even stronger than before,” says IIA President Richard Chambers.
