Internal Audit Free Membership

Tuesday Aug 2 2022

Hello chapter leaders,

We have good news regarding student membership. Starting August 1, 2022 IIA Student Membership will be free of charge for eligible students.  We know many of you heard this news at Leadership Academy, and we are excited to officially announce the launch date. Eligibility has also expanded to include part-time students actively enrolled in a minimum of 6 credits. Although student membership is free, each student will need to complete the application here.

Our highest priority is to add value back to the member, and we know that making student membership more accessible will open opportunities for your students, and your chapter, to thrive. This initiative is a great way to showcase Internal Audit as a global profession to students of all academic areas, and we are encouraging chapters to broaden their reach to students outside of solely accounting majors.

Additionally, if your chapter was intending to sponsor student membership this year and have money budgeted for this, we encourage your chapter to consider using the allocated funds for other activities to support student engagement.

We are so excited for the future of student membership and engagement here at The IIA. We know that the future of the profession is in the hands of the next generation, and we are grateful that your leadership will help them pave the way!

If you have any questions about student membership, or what we’ve outlined today, please reach out to [email protected].

Sincerely,

The Chapter Engagement Team

Feedback from Student Who is Now an Iinternal Auditor

Thursday April 21 2022

On Tuesday April 19 I posted an e mail from a previous student who is now an internal auditor.  He urged me to keep doing what I was doing in class. I asked for specifics and this is his reply.

I would love to do a zoom meeting/Skype for your students. Let's plan for the fall 2022, by then I should have taken possibly 2 parts of the CPA.

 

When I had you for Ethics you had us write, analyze, and discuss the cases. Being able to think critically and communicate our ideas and thoughts in paper and verbally is something that I use every day. Have these students think and analyze and present the results, why did you reach such conclusions and back them up. 

Read the book and remember, don't memorize.
