President’s Message

Dear Members,

My name is Jamie DuBray. I’m coming to you with over 16 years of experience in the Internal Audit profession, 13 of which I’ve been volunteering with the IIA in one capacity or another (in both San Antonio and Houston Chapters). My passion for the profession runs deep and I’m honored that you have the confidence in me to endorse my nomination to this leadership role.

As the June and July newsletters are combined into one, I suppose you’ll need to get two-for-one in my first President’s message. What better way to kick off the year than to reflect on the two most important elements of our foundation as a Chapter: Mission and Purpose.

In case you (too) need a refresher, the mission of our chapter is two-fold. Promoting Professional Growth; Progress for the Practice of Internal Auditing. These mission statements were not arrived at lightly, nor were they derived in a vacuum. Both are aligned with the core purpose of the IIA which is, “to advance the internal audit profession and serve our members.” But more important than having alignment on a clear vision is to have one that is compelling. Compelling us to action and to move forward from we are today by seeing the education, advocacy and networking of internal auditors being impacted in big ways.

We are driven to accomplish this mission through specific goals and objectives for each area of our leadership – academic relations, membership events, seminars and luncheons, to name a few.

In the coming months, I hope to expand on this topic by sharing the impacts we are making and how we are accomplishing this mission.

Until then,

Jamie DuBray Houston Chapter President [email protected]

February 2013 AUDIT WIRE

The Global Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) has a program for certified members to write exam questions (known as “items”) on any one of the certifications offered by the IIA. The Global IIA receives items from individual exam writers and Test Development Teams (TDT’s). A TDT is a chapter sponsored group of exam writers and the following chapters have a TDT: Austin, Denver, Houston, Mid-Atlantic and Omaha. The Houston TDT ranks at #1 amongst all TDT’s. Our TDT has submitted the most number of items and has the highest acceptance rate. These amazing results are due to our dedicated team of exam writers, Thank You exam writers for your hard work! Our 17 member team for the 2015/2016 fiscal year included:

What are the requirements to prepare items? To prepare CIA exam questions team members must hold a CIA certification and follow a set of requirements provided by Global IIA. Exam writing experience is not required to participate. What is the process of submitting items? On a quarterly basis our exam writers follows this process:

1. Receive a list of exam topics as well as the document known as the item writing template; 2. Use specific list of approved reference material to write items; 3. Meet with their team to review and correct the items prepared. 4. Correct items and submit to Team Lead.

What are the benefits of being an exam writer?

• Great networking opportunity. • Maintain up-to-date knowledge of the International Professional Practices Framework. • Learn best practices in the internal audit profession. • Earn CPE credits for accepted items. • Earn Chapter Achievement Points (CAP) for the Houston Chapter. • Contribute to the advancement of the profession.

What is a CAP point? All chapters are measured and ranked on an annual basis based on their activity. Each chapter earns Chapter Achievement Points (known as CAP points) in the following categories: service to the profession; service to members; and chapter administration. Our TDT has contributed a total of 460 CAP points since inception last year. What are the TDT’s goals for its second year? Our goal is to maintain our #1 ranking and to have 100 items accepted for the CIA exam by the Global IIA. If you are interested in joining the Houston TDT and preparing CIA exam questions, please send an email to VP of Academic Relations at [email protected]. You may also contact Jay Qatato ([email protected]) or Jaina Kalan [email protected]) for more information.

Internal Audit Student Association (IASA) - Recap of Activities!

April 29, 2016: Michael Bennett, Office Managing Partner at Grant Thornton, gave a very informative and interactive presentation to the students in the last PPA Colloquium for 2016. One of the topics Michael Bennet talked about was culture in the business - “Culture eats strategy for lunch!” He explained how superior strategy will do little for firms unless it also has a positive organizational culture; however, culture is a choice - we can either shape it or it can shape us. May 2016: Internal Audit Student Association Membership Updates UH-IASA announced its new officers for Fall 2016 • President - Melissa Prompuntagorn (2nd row - middle) • Corporate Relations - Joselin Lopez (2nd row - left) • Student Relations - Sheetal Asodia (2nd row - right) • Alumni & External Relations - Wendi Fan (1st row - right) • IT & Communication Officer - Gaganpreet Kaur (1st row – left) In addition, we rewarded the following students who achieved “Outstanding Active Membership” with the organization: • Melissa Prompuntagorn (Most Active Member) • Hyunjung Kim • Joselin Lopez • Yarilis Quinones • Will Simpson These students expanded their networking and soft skills by actively participating in various events organized by IASA. The most active member received a 50% scholarship from the Becker Professional Education for CPA Review Package. Lastly, we would like to thank all 54 members who joined IASA during the Spring Semester 2016. June 6: Houston IIA Luncheon: We had 3 officers and a handful of students at the June IIA Luncheon. The participants were excited to listen to the valuable and useful speech - Burning the Box, presented by Bob Kodzis, the President and Chief Creative Catalyst at Flight of Ideas, Inc. According to Bob’s presentation, we learned about barriers to our creativities, how they influence our creative ability, and what we should do to avoid these barriers. Bob’s facetious humor, operational practice and table-team sharing motivated our sense of creativity.

Chapter Achievement Points (CAP)! Brownie Points!

One of the ways we gauge our success as a Chapter is through the Chapter Achievement Program (CAP). CAP points are earned for our accomplishments in three areas:

The Houston Chapter has achieved Platinum status for the past eight years by reaching the IIA’s established point goals and as of April 30, 2016 we have done it again! We achieved platinum status for the ninth year in a row! Thanks in large part to our members’ great participation at the luncheons and recently at our Annual Conference. In addition to the conference and luncheons, we have also received help earning points from members who throughout the year donated their time to the profession. We would like to recognize and thank our Houston Chapter members who have contributed to our points this chapter year as of April 30, 2016.
