About This Chapter ​

The Louisville Kentucky Chapter of the Institute of Internal Auditors has approximately 270 members representing a wide range of businesses in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. The Chapter is a not-for-profit organization that was established to provide its members a means by which they may enhance their knowledge of Internal Auditing and share information.

Internal auditing is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization's operations. Internal Auditors interact with personnel from all areas of an organization. We help our organizations accomplish their objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes.

The Louisville Chapter is an affiliate of The Institute of Internal Auditors, an international professional organization with over 154,500 members in more than 156 countries.

The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) publishes Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing. The IIA also offers a Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) designation that is recognized world wide. Internal Auditors awarded the CIA designation have demonstrated through experience and examination a high level of knowledge of Internal Auditing and are required to obtain continuing education and abide by a code of ethics.

The Louisville Chapter of The Institute of Internal Auditors desires to promote the Internal Auditing Profession, to offer professional development opportunities and to provide a source for networking and sharing of information to its members. Established in 1941, The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) is an international professional association with global headquarters in Lake Mary, Florida, USA. The IIA is the internal audit profession's global voice, recognized authority, acknowledged leader, chief advocate, and principal educator. Generally, members work in internal auditing, risk management, governance, internal control, information technology audit, education, and security.

The IIA Louisville Chapter provides annual scholarships to three local colleges and universities:

• University of Louisville
• Bellarmine University
• Indiana University Southeast

IIA Louisville has a chapter library at Sullivan University.

Dear IIA Louisville Chapter Members,

As we arrive at December and the close of another calendar year, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for your continued dedication to our chapter and to the internal audit profession. Your participation in meetings, willingness to share knowledge, and support for one another truly make the IIA Louisville Chapter a strong and vibrant community.

I am continuing to serve as acting president while our Chapter President, Myhanh Pham, remains on medical leave. On behalf of the entire board and membership, I want to again offer our thoughts, support, and best wishes to her during this time. We look forward to welcoming her back when she is ready, and we remain committed to carrying forward the strong foundation she and the chapter leaders before her, have helped build.

Our recent sessions have underscored just how quickly our profession is evolving, particularly in areas of technology and innovation. Building on that momentum, I’m excited to share that our upcoming December event will focus on “Auditing Artificial Intelligence.” This session will explore the resources and capabilities needed to develop skills for auditing AI, provide high-level walkthroughs of audit programs across various AI domains, and highlight key risks associated with the use of AI in organizations.

Whether your organization is early in its AI journey or already deeply invested in AI-enabled processes, this topic is increasingly critical to risk management, governance, and internal audit’s role as a trusted advisor. I encourage you to join us, come with questions, and consider how you can begin integrating AIrelated considerations into your audit plans and discussions with stakeholders.

As we head into the holiday season, I also want to recognize the incredible contributions of our volunteers, officers, and committee members. Your behind-the-scenes efforts, from coordinating speakers and events to managing communications and membership outreach, makes everything we do possible. If you’ve been thinking about getting more involved, there will be many opportunities in the coming year for you to share your time and talents.

On behalf of the board, I wish each of you a safe, restful, and joyful holiday season. May you enjoy meaningful time with family and friends and find time to recharge as we prepare for a new year of learning, growth, and professional impact together.

Warmest holiday wishes,

K. Robert Stutsman
Vice President (Acting Chapter
