IIA | Tulsa Chapter Newsletter

THE WORKPAPERS

Let’s talk business. Over the past two years there

have been a lot of changes announced by the North American Board and there are still more to

come. These changes are pushing us to be a bet-

ter chapter and to focus on Building a Stronger Pro-

fession, Supporting Competent Professionals, and Creating Sustainable Value. Your Vice Presidents and I built a busi-

ness plan over the summer to support the strategic plan created by

the NA Board. Your Governors support the plan and offered more

suggestions on how we as a chapter could grow in those areas. We already know we are best in class as evidenced by our Sapphire sta-

tus in the chapter achievement program (CAP). But there are always

ways we can improve. The primary source of our CAP achievement

comes from attendance at our events.

Did you know we have a renowned keynote speaker coming to our

chapter in October? Toby Groves has a FIVE page list of past

speaking engagements. He has been a speaker at some of the larg-

est and best conferences in the nation (IIA GAM and All-Stars) and we have him coming to our Chapter. What a great opportunity to see

Dr. Groves without having to travel. You won’t want to miss

this! And to sweeten the deal we will even be giving away notebooks

and pens to everyone who registers.

I hope to see you at our next event!

Beyond the Code: Ethics in the New World of AI Presented by Dr. Toby Groves,

Dr. Toby Groves is a social cogni-tive scientist, speaker and writer. He researches innovative thinking ap-proaches that spark insight with a

focus on higher-order critical think-ing, problem solving and communi-cations. He presents his unique con-tent using vivid mental imagery and radically interactive exercises. His fascinating history spurred a lifelong research journey in advanced critical thinking and communications in ex-pert environments. A popular speaker amongst leading organizations in industry, government and academia, Toby works with experts that provide society’s most critical services including the audit, intelligence, investigative, legal and medical communities.

Toby has a PhD in psychology, an MA in industrial-organizational psy-chology and has training in a unique combination of forensic psycholo-gy and forensic accounting.

Presentation Summary:

Cognitive technologies have profoundly changed the way we mine da-ta, conduct analyses and communicate information. Technology has distanced us from the context of information, and from other people. But proximity helps us recognize the ethical component of issues. If ethics is driven by empathy and our connection with others, how can we achieve it in a world of algorithms and rules?

The audience will be engaged in interactive experiments and real-life examples to apply ethical judgment in the new world of robotic pro-

cesses. Attendees will learn how to apply the ‘Mind-lens’ model devel-oped by Dr. Groves and apply it in situations of automated decision making.

FROM TULSA INTERNATIONAL

downtown Tulsa follow the signs to-

wards Sand Springs, (64/51 also

known locally as the Keystone Ex-

pressway or the Cimarron Turnpike).

on the Gilcrease Museum Road and

then turn right. At the next traffic light

(Edison) turn right. Travel ½ mile and

turn left on Union Ave. Club entrance

Principles and ultimately fulfill the Mission of Internal Audit. This webinar will provide an overview of how to ef-

fectively demonstrate the Core Principles for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing. Current and former

members of the International Internal Auditing Standards Board will share their experience on how best to

demonstrate the Core Principles and the resulting impact on the stature of the internal audit function within an

organization. By the end of the webinar, participants will have a clear understanding of how to effectively

demonstrate the Core Principles, regularly communicate them to key stakeholders and embed them into the

quality routines of the internal audit function. Learn more.

Learning Objectives:

Get an overview of the newly released Practice Guide, Demonstrating the Core Principles for the Professional

Practice of Internal Auditing; Understand the criteria for demonstrating selected Core Principles; Learn to im-

prove communication and engagement with key stakeholders using the Core Principles; and Realize the value

of embedding the Core Principles into their Quality Assurance and Improvement Plan.

This story-based audience favorite will disrupt everything you thought you knew about fraud. Attendees will

learn why their assumptions are flawed regarding likely perpetrators, which detection tools are effective, and

which deterrence methods really work. The audience will learn effective data science techniques and how to

spot fraud that can’t be found by examining numbers. Find out why some of the most trusted investigative prac-

tices have been leading us off-course and how auditors and investigators unwittingly assist fraud schemes. Sci-

entific research is combined with Toby’s first-hand accounts in this powerful talk that exposes myths and the

dangers lurking in our assumptions related to this ever-growing threat.

Major Subjects:

• Effective data science for fraud investigation– finding meaning in your data

• Psychometrics - Behavioral profiling and psychological assessments

• Psychopathy and sociopathy

• Effective skepticism and evidence screening

• Why we overlook obvious red flags

• How assumptions make us less effective

Learning objectives:

Attendees will challenge superficial assumptions regarding fraud and deception and gain a deeper understand-

ing of effective cognitive tools to screen evidence, assess cultural influences, critically review investigative tools,

and recognize the relevance of criteria.

User Group ACL has Officially Rebranded to “Galvanize” Per their official release: “…we’ve evolved from “the analytics company” into an analyst-recognized risk management, com-pliance, and audit solution that unites all of these teams to a single platform.” ACL also acquired Rsam which focuses on analyzing vendor and IT risk and providing cyber security solutions for its customers. This merger presented the opportuni-ty they wanted for a new brand. You can find more information on the FAQ page, but a short excerpt from this highlights the important changes:

What’s changing?

• Our integrated platform is called HighBond. Think of it as the main platform that all our products live under. As of May

13, instead of aclgrc.com you will login at highbond.com.

• ACL Analytics is now part of ACL Robotics. This is our Analytics on premise software, plus our new Robots module,

and machine learning functionality. Every Analytics customer with v14 has ACL Robotics.

• Analytics Exchange remains the same.

• All Rsam products remain the same.

As always, please contact Kerri Surdahl (kerri.surdahl@conocophillips.com) if you have any questions or want to share

ideas at our ACL/Galvanize User Group meetings!
