The local chapter currently has over 225 members and is part of the global IIA membership of more than 200,000 individuals. The New Orleans Chapter provides tailored training, education, and networking opportunities to internal audit professionals in the area.

The mission of the New Orleans Chapter, consistent with the global mission, includes but is not limited to:

Establish and maintain high standards of integrity, honor, and character among internal auditors. As an affiliate of The Institute of Internal Auditors, the New Orleans Chapter would like to assure its members and non-members that we value your privacy. In conjunction with the IIA Privacy Policy, we take the following steps to keep your information private:
Newsletters and Periodic Email Communications – we ensure all receivers are "blind copied" so information is not transferred via emails. This prevents others from "replying" and sending unauthorized emails to those on our distribution list. The email messages are part of regular communications with members and non-members of the Institute of Internal Auditors New Orleans Chapter. You may exclude yourself from future communications by contacting chapter35@theiia.org. However, since the New Orleans Chapter uses email as a primary means of communication with members and nonmembers, you may not receive important announcements relating to the Chapter.
Information to Outside Parties – we do not distribute member and/or non-member information to any outside party for any reason.

The IIA New Orleans Chapter is proud to offer a Membership Assistance Program to help cover the annual chapter membership fee for one year. Applicants will be based on special circumstances and needs. Approved applicants will receive one free IIA membership for one year. Please contact Chapter35@theiia.org to request the application or download "Membership Grant Application" from the "Member Only Content" Section below.
