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.

Hello IIA Louisville Chapter Members!

I can’t believe Q1 is already over, and Spring is here. I hope everyone had a lovely St. Patrick’s Day and Easter.

Last month, Andrea Higgins and Jordon Hobson of Robert Half shared the 2024 Salary Guide and their thoughts and insights into Employment and Market Trends, as well as The Demand for Skilled Talent. It was a great presentation with loads of valuable information! Thank you, Andrea and Jordan!

At this month’s chapter meeting, Jodi Renn and Chris Boylan will be going over the Updated Internal Audit Standards. It’s going to be an educational and entertaining presentation! We can all use this information to help prepare our audit shops for the changes that are going into effect soon.

We’re also planning an 8-hour CPE event to be held on Tuesday, May 14th. This will be a multitopic seminar where we’ll have a variety of speakers throughout the day. More information will be released in our next newsletter, as well as email announcements.

Speaking of email announcements, our Chapter Email has been updated. Please be sure to add our new Chapter Email (chapter17@iiachaptercommunications.org) to your contacts so the messages make it to your inbox.

As always, if you or someone you know is interested in volunteering with our chapter, please reach out to any of our Officers and we will be happy to help.

Thank you,

Lesley Clark
