Internal Audit Education Moves Forward

We completed our fourth year of the Internal Audit program at UT Dallas.  We accomplished a lot with the past four years with collaboration with the Dallas Chapter.  This coming year you will see many new things happening around the country related to Internal Audit education.  One that will have a much bigger impact than originally planned is the new book that will be used by most schools for Internal Audit education - Internal Auditing: Assurance and Consulting Services.  This project was funded and published by IIA Research Foundation.  You all have the opportunity to attend the North American kickoff on August 17 at UT Dallas which will feature all the authors.  Details for the event can be found in this newsletter and registration is on the Chapter Web site.  Be sure to register early.  

In talking to many educators around the globe the one thing many of them have been waiting for is a new contemporary internal audit book that could be used in the classroom.  UT Dallas and UT Austin piloted the book during this past year prior to going to print this month.  You will see internal audit taught at significantly more schools throughout the U.S.

We are adding to the program at UTD with a new Advanced Auditing course that will target training concepts for audit seniors and managers.  This course will compliment our unique offerings in Audit Software and Forensic Accounting Investigations.   An Assistant Director-Chris Lindsteadt will join the program in the fall semester teaching external audit along with advising students on career planning.

IIA International expanded its Academic Relations area this last summer by rolling out a new Internal Auditing Education Partnership program with the new logo shown above.  You will be hearing and seeing a lot more about this program in the future.  If you haven’t visited the IIA International Academic Relations Web site lately it has been significantly updated and is at www.theiia.org/academic.  You can find a wealth of information about promoting internal audit along with the status of the various programs around the globe.  If you go to the IIA International Conference in Amsterdam this year there is an entire track of Education and Practitioners working together which is new and planned to be an annual track at the International Conference.

So you think all this just happens by chance or without a strategy?  The focus on internal audit education has been a strategic directive of the IIA for a number of years.  It has taken some time to get things in place and now you will see the impact of this strategic direction.  You can find this and other strategic directives of the IIA at www.theiia.org.

If you are interested in recruiting on campus or assisting the program, contact Mark Salamasick at 972-883-4729 or mark.salamasick@utdallas.edu.  We are always looking for additional interesting site tours and always welcome sponsors for our Wednesday receptions.  Recruiting will start in September and we plan on a whole new crop of potential students.
