About This Chapter
The Louisville Kentucky Chapter of the Institute of Internal Auditors has approximately 270 members representing a wide range of businesses in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. The Chapter is a not-for-profit organization that was established to provide its members a means by which they may enhance their knowledge of Internal Auditing and share information.
Internal auditing is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization's operations. Internal Auditors interact with personnel from all areas of an organization. We help our organizations accomplish their objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes.
The Louisville Chapter is an affiliate of The Institute of Internal Auditors, an international professional organization with over 154,500 members in more than 156 countries.
The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) publishes Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing. The IIA also offers a Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) designation that is recognized world wide. Internal Auditors awarded the CIA designation have demonstrated through experience and examination a high level of knowledge of Internal Auditing and are required to obtain continuing education and abide by a code of ethics.
The Louisville Chapter of The Institute of Internal Auditors desires to promote the Internal Auditing Profession, to offer professional development opportunities and to provide a source for networking and sharing of information to its members. 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.

Hello IIA Louisville Chapter Members,
Welcome to May and happy Internal Audit Awareness Month! I’d like to thank all of you for your support throughout this year. Taking on the role of President has been both challenging and rewarding. I’m grateful for the leadership experience and the relationships we’ve been able to build through volunteering to serve our chapter. It has truly been a pleasure to be a part of this organization and I look forward to serving as your chapter president again next year.
I would like to thank Marcie Smitha, who served as Treasurer, and Chris Elmore and London Lopez, who have completed their term as members of our Board of Governors. I appreciate everything you’ve done for our organization. I also look forward to continuing to work with Myhanh Pham, Robert Stutsman, and London Lopez, as Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer, respectively.
Our final event of the chapter year is being held this month, and it’s sure to be a good one. We will be hosting an 8 CPE-hour seminar with exciting topics like Cybersecurity and IT Risk Assessments, Negotiation, 2-hours of Ethics, and other fun topics. Please take a look at the events page of this newsletter and register to join us on May 14th.
We are working to plan our lunch presentations for the next chapter year. If you have any ideas of topics you’d like to see discussed, or if you have any ideas for how we can improve our programs, please reach out to Lesley Clark, Myhanh Pham, or Robert Stutsman.
Thank you,
Lesley Clark
