Welcome to the IIA Baton Rouge Chapter

The Baton Rouge Chapter of The Institute of Internal Auditors is a professional association of internal auditors involved in promoting professional growth and progress for the practice of internal auditing. The Baton Rouge Chapter was incorporated in 1990 with activity back to 1975!

A part of the global IIA membership of over 200,000 auditors, our Chapter provides training and networking opportunities to internal audit professionals from Baton Rouge and the surrounding area through monthly luncheon meetings and several full- and half-day seminars throughout the Chapter year.

Building Awareness Champions

We are pleased to be a 2023 Building Awareness Champion!

During Internal Audit Awareness Month in May, we shared our passion for internal auditing, promoting the profession through a variety of events and campaigns designed to inform and engage, raise awareness, and help stakeholders understand the value of internal audit in their organizations.

The Baton Rouge Chapter strives to support our members through a variety of scholarships and awards. Currently, we offer the following throughout the chapter year:

Certification Campaign
$100 awarded to one active member, chosen at random, who passes the CIA and/or CRMA exam during each quarter of the chapter year.

Student Scholarships Awards
$250 scholarship awarded to up to four students.

Sponsored Student Membership
IIA student membership fee sponsored for up to four students.

The Baton Rouge Chapter has earned Ruby status in the IIA's Chapter Achievement Program (CAP). This notable accomplishment came after attaining GOLD status for 20 years! This achievement level recognizes chapters who demonstrate a strong commitment to consistently serve members and the profession.
