Developing Tomorrow's Internal Auditor

Urton Anderson, University of Texas

A recent survey from Robert Half reported that “the demand for internal auditors today is unprecedented.” They report that it typically takes more than 12 weeks to hire staff internal auditors and up to six months for hiring at the management level. And this is not just internal audit in another survey of managers over half reported having difficulty finding skilled job candidates to fill accounting and finance positions. Where will tomorrow’s internal auditors come from? What skills will they need? Professor Anderson will talk about what being done and what needs to be done in college and university accounting curriculum to train the internal auditor of the future.

Urton Anderson, CIA, CCSA, CGAP, CFSA, CCEP, is Clark W. Thompson, Jr., Professor in Accounting Education and Chair of the Department of Accounting at the McCombs School of Business, The University of Texas at Austin.

Urton has written several books, Implementing the Professional Practices Framework: 2nd Edition (with Andrew Dahle), as well as papers published in a variety of scholarly and professional journals. He is also one of the co-authors of the new internal auditing textbook - Internal Auditing: Assurance and Consulting Services.

Urton is a Certified Internal Auditor and is active in the Institute of Internal Auditors. He has been a member and Chair of the Institute’s Board of Regents and served on the CCSA Steering Committee which developed the professional examination for Control Self-Assessment and the CGAP Steering Committee which developed professional examination in governmental auditing. He has also been a member of the Internal Auditing Standards Board and currently serves as its Chair. In 1997 he was named Leon R. Radde Educator of the Year Award, by The Institute of Internal Auditors. In June 2006 The Institute of Internal Auditors recognized his outstanding contributions to the field of internal auditing by giving him The Bradford Cadmus Memorial Award. Urton also serves on the board of directors for the Health Care Compliance Association and the advisory board of the Society Corporate Compliance and Ethics.

CBOK Update

The IIA Research Foundation (IIARF) is proud to present results of the Common Body of Knowledge 2006 (CBOK) study to all members of The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) as a free download from The IIA's Web site.

http://www.theiia.org/go?to=eblast_2007_12_17_cbok

The CBOK 2006 study represents the most comprehensive global study ever conducted about the internal audit profession. It provides a current view of:

• Global compliance with the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing.
• The global state of the profession.
• Staffing, skills, and competencies.
• Emerging roles.

The IIARF is committed to understanding, guiding, and shaping the profession of internal auditing. Members of The IIA and other internal audit practitioners around the world played a role in this commitment by participating in the CBOK study and sharing their input and wisdom. The results of CBOK belong to the internal audit profession, and The IIARF is pleased to provide to IIA members these results in electronic format. In addition, a 472-page bound copy of the CBOK results will be available for purchase through The IIARF Bookstore in the first quarter of 2008.

We appreciate your continued support and are confident you will find the CBOK information invaluable. If you have questions about CBOK, please contact us at research@theiia.org.

IIA Research Foundation

The IIA issued three additional Global Technology Audit Guides (GTAG). These include:

GTAG 7: IT Outsourcing – This guide provides information on the types of IT outsourcing activities, the IT outsourcing lifecycle, and how outsourcing activities should be managed. Key issues covered in this guide include:

• How to choose the right IT outsourcing vendor?
• What are the best ways to manage outsourcing contract agreements?
• What are the main outsourcing risks and how to mitigate them?
• What are the key outsourcing control considerations from the perspective of both client operations and service provider operations?
• Which is the most effective framework for establishing outsourcing controls?

GTAG 8: Auditing Application Controls - Effective application controls will help your organization to ensure the integrity, accuracy, confidentiality and completeness of your data and systems. It is important to develop and execute audits of application controls on a periodic basis in order to determine whether they are designed appropriately and operating effectively. This guide provides internal auditors with the following information.

• What are application controls?
• What is the relationship between application controls and general controls?
• Why rely on application controls?
• How to scope a risk-based application control review?
• What are the steps to conduct an application controls review?

GTAG 9: Identity and Access Management - Identity and access management (IAM) is a cross-functional process that helps organizations manage who has access to what information. This process is used to initiate, capture, record, and manage the user identities and related access permissions to the organization's proprietary information.

Internal auditors should be involved in the development of the organization's IAM strategy as well as in the evaluation of the implementation of the strategy and effectiveness of companywide access controls. The purpose of this guide is to provide insight into what IAM means to an organization and to suggest internal audit areas for review. It can assist the internal auditor to understand, analyze, and monitor their organization's IAM processes. A checklist for an IAM review is also included in this guide.

All of these reports can be downloaded free at www.theiia.org/guidance/technology/gtag/.

Certification News - New Certifications

Mark your Calendars

The next Dallas Chapter review courses, featuring live training by Dr. Glen Sumners of Louisiana State University, will be offered as follows at UT Dallas:

• February 15-18, 2008
• September 4-7, 2008 (note the date change)

We are now registering for the February 2008 course. For registration information, please see http://www.dallasiia.org/CIA_Review_S08.htm. Note that registration deadline is January 31, 2008. The course will be cancelled if we have insufficient registrations by February 1, 2008.

Computer-based Testing – Change in Date

The computer-based testing (CBT) for The IIA’s certification programs is being postponed until May 2008 and other program enhancements, including the elimination of the testing windows in favor of year-round testing, will be implemented with the May launch. Announcement from the IIA:

The IIA is pleased to announce a significant enhancement to its certification program. Beginning in May 2008, certification testing will be available on a year-round basis through the new computer-based testing (CBT) process. Originally scheduled for roll-out in February with pre-determined testing windows, CBT will now go live in May, with no testing-window constraints. This means that certification candidates will be able to take full advantage of computer-based testing anytime throughout the year in multiple languages.

To further enhance the CBT process, The IIA has contracted with an industry-leading software vendor to deliver a high-quality registration and application process, resulting in a more complete launch. “By slightly delaying CBT roll-out,” says IIA Vice President Professional Practices Susan Lione, CIA, CCSA, CGAP, CFSA, “we will be able to offer long-term benefits that far exceed previous expectations!”

Please check The IIA’s Web site in March for program details and information on the registration process. Registration will begin in April. (The registration process and timing may differ in countries in which the local IIA institute manages the registration process. Candidates should refer to The IIA’s Web site for a list of these countries, along with contact information). Upon registering, a candidate will have six months to sit for the exam. Candidates who do not pass an exam part must wait 90 days before being allowed to retest. Upon its availability, more information will be posted to The IIA’s Web site at www.theiia.org/certification.

Ceremony for Those Passing November 2007 Exam

Scheduled to be held at the May 2008 Dallas Chapter meeting. More details to be communicated when available.

Internal Audit Advocacy! .... Get Involved!

This semester at UTD brings many exciting events for the IAEP program. Our annual Fraud seminar that supports the program is planned for March 28 and is expected to be bigger and better than before. Make sure you sign up in advance as it is planned to sell out this year. Also, the IIA meeting will be held on February 7 and the academic relations committee is encouraging all students to attend. This is a great opportunity for students to meet other students from different schools participating in the program. We are encouraging our students to attend this event so they may network with individuals in the internal audit profession. We would like each of you to make the students feel welcome, and we encourage you to meet a minimum of three students while at the luncheon. In addition the guest speaker from UT Austin, Dr. Urton Anderson, has a lot of insight working with students in running the Accounting Department and Internal Audit program at UT Austin.

This semester in our Internal Audit class, our students have the opportunity to have hands on experience with internal audit by completing an in depth student project internship. This semester's internships included placements at the City of Garland, UT Southwestern Medical Center, UT Dallas, AT&T and the City of Plano.

We are also beginning our second semester offering the Advanced Audit class and we are planning on building on the success we enjoyed last semester. This class is taught at Audit Senior and Manager-level and covers topics such as: QAR, ERM, Control Self Assessment, auditing vendor relationships, working with adversarial audit clients, and marketing the audit function within an organization. This class is purely discussion based and much of the success from last semester is owed to the outstanding organizations that provided practitioners to participate in the class discussions. I would like to extend thanks to Southwest Airlines, BNSF, Countrywide, DART, DISD, PISD, and Raytheon for their support.

Our biggest issue is still advocacy of the profession and educating students of the possible careers in internal audit. All of you can help with this issue by talking to as many students throughout the year and educating them on the perspective careers that start in internal audit.

As I mentioned in the fall newsletter we hope to grow the Student Chapter to over 200 students by May 2008. All of you have an opportunity to help in this effort. We have in place a number of methods to have employers meet students and explain the benefits of careers in internal audit. So the good news is there are avenues to recruit students, but you must get them early. A new batch of students get involved every semester so reviewing the status of who is available every February and September is a great idea.

To schedule a reception, site visit, interview or peruse resumes, contact Mark Salamasick at 972-883-4729 or mark.salamasick@utdallas.edu. The Student Chapter will have resume posted after February 8 and interviews start mid-February. The Student Chapter Website is www.utdallas.edu/orgs/iia with the resumes posted. Contact Mark Salamasick for the user id and password.
