Welcome to the IIA Austin Chapter

Originally founded as the Austin Audit Club in 1978, the Austin Chapter of the Institute of Internal Auditors was formally recognized September 5, 1979.

Your local IIA Austin Chapter has a long history of providing continuing professional education to auditors in the Austin area for more than 30 years. We also provide networking opportunities to internal audit professionals from Austin and the surrounding area and promote the profession to future professionals through relationships with local universities.

The Austin Chapter earned Gold status in the IIA’s Chapter Achievement Program (CAP) and was recognized as a Chapter of Excellence for supporting the IIA’s CIA Learning System.
