Welcome to the IIA Detroit Chapter
The Detroit Chapter of the IIA serves the internal audit community of the Metro-Detroit area of Southeast Michigan.
The Detroit Chapter of the IIA provides its members with many professional development and connection opportunities throughout the year: eight monthly meetings with CPE credit, webinars throughout the year, the three-day in-person joint IIA/ISACA Spring Conference, and social gatherings. Members get support for the CIA and other IIA certifications through a dedicated certification chair, opportunities to present and build their professional profile, and networking with peers across industries. The chapter also invests in the profession’s future through student scholarships and contributions to the IIA Research Foundation, and it has earned the IIA’s Platinum Chapter Achievement award for seven consecutive years, a reflection of how actively its members engage and how much value they get in return.
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.
Globally, The IIA has more than 200,000 members. The IIA in North America comprises 159 chapters serving more than 70,000 members in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean (Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Cayman Islands, Curacao, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and Turks & Caicos), Bermuda, Guyana, and Trinidad & Tobago. Members enjoy benefits offered by the North American Service Center including local, national, and global professional networking; world-class training; certification; standards and guidance; research; executive development; career opportunities; and more. Internal auditors throughout North America enjoy free members-only webinars and national conferences such as the General Audit Management Conference, the Governance, Risk, and Control (GRC) Conference, and the All Star Conference. The IIA’s Audit Executive Center provides chief audit executives relevant and timely thought leadership and connections to peers for benchmarking and sharing best practices. And resources such as IIA Quality Services make The Institute an indispensable partner to you and your organization.
