DOHA: Three board members of The IIA Qatar attended the 75th Anniversary celebrations of The Global Institute of Internal Auditors held at an international conference in New York recently.
The conference theme was “Celebrating our Past, Inspiring the future”. A commemorative 75th Anniversary Museum exhibit was unveiled at the newly opened Museum of Internal Audit located at IIA’s Lake Mary office in Florida.
An anniversary website (75years.theiia.org) was also created to provide a comprehensive overview of internal audit’s prominent figures and defining moments.
Hassan Al Mulla, Sundaresan Rajeswar and Christian Adonis were the IIA Qatar board members who attended.
Rajeswar was inducted into the Global Committee of Research and Education Advisors (CREA) during the annual business meeting. His term will end in 2019.
Angela Witzany from Austria was elected as Chairman of the IIA’s 2016-2017 Global Board of Directors. Witzany, head of internal audit at Sparkassen Versicherung AG, has chosen “Audit Never Sleeps” as her chairperson’s theme to express the constant vigilance practitioners must embrace to identify and respond to risks that can threaten their organisations.
The IIA is the largest global membership association for the internal audit profession with more than 185,000 members from 170 countries. It underscores that internal auditing is indispensable to good governance, risk management and internal control.
Global Councils are held to strengthen the IIA’s global network by promoting the exchange of ideas and experiences among leaders from around the world and to collect insights and feedback on key strategies and initiatives that impact the future of the profession.
