November 2006
The President’s Letter
The Dallas Chapter had the opportunity to hold the
October meeting at the Brookhaven Country Club. I received
positive feedback on the location and the service. The
Programs Committee also identified a few things that could
be managed better for future meetings (e.g., pre- and
post-meetings should be held in a separate room from the
lunch meeting). We plan to work with the Brookhaven Country
Club to address these minor changes so that our March 2007
meeting will run more smoothly.
We will return to Cityplace for the November meeting - our annual joint
meeting with the Dallas Chapter of the Association of Government Auditors (AGA).
This is our third consecutive year to meet with AGA and I look forward to this
networking event. This month our theme is "Corporate Governance." Standard 2130
of The IIA's International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal
Auditing states that internal audit should assess and make appropriate
recommendations for improving the governance process. Refer to the IIA Web site
for more details:
http://www.theiia.org/index.cfm?act=content.page&doc_id=4299&Site=iia. Your
organization's annual internal audit plan should address this standard in some
way. This is not to say that every audit should include an assessment of the
governance process but you should consider the relevance of this standard to
your audits.
I look forward to another successful meeting. If you have any comments or
questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or another officer.
Sincerely,
Pamela Krakosky
2006-2007 President - Dallas Chapter IIA

Migration of SOX from Project to Process
Jim DeLoach, Protiviti Inc.
There are significant opportunities to improve the sustainability
of internal control structures within organizations and increase the
cost-effectiveness of the compliance process after filing your
initial internal control reports required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002 (“SOX”). To manage your transition from “project to
process,” companies need an ongoing infrastructure that leverages
learning, institutionalizes compliance, meets audit committee
expectations and mines the data for “value-added” opportunities and
migration to a faster, more efficient close process.
The “project to process” transition requires a structured
approach that will help companies evaluate their options for
designing the organizational structure that facilitates ongoing
compliance. In this session, Jim will discuss various trends
occurring in the marketplace around this area and also provides a
suggested approach to this difficult transition where internal audit
teams can be “front and center” in helping lead their organizations
through this change process.
 Jim
DeLoach, Protiviti Managing Director, is Protiviti’s leader in
developing the firm’s market offerings in the governance services
space (including SOX compliance) and in enterprise-wide risk
management. He chairs Protiviti’s SOX PMO Task Force, which provides
oversight to the quality, consistency and growth of the firm’s
initiatives to serve clients and go-to-market with respect to SOX
offerings. He is co-author of Managing business risk: An
integrated approach, published by The Economist Intelligence
Unit in 1995, and of numerous articles covering various aspects of
business risk assessment and management.
Jim’s book, Enterprise-wide Risk Management: Strategies for
linking risk and opportunity, was published by Financial Times in
June 2000 and was the first book written on the subject of
enterprise risk management. For three years, he served on the COSO
Advisory Board that provided advice and guidance to the development
of the new Enterprise Risk Management –Integrated Framework issued
by COSO in 2004. He is frequently quoted in the press on governance
and risk management matters and has delivered numerous presentations
on governance and risk management topics to many companies and
groups in 26 countries on every inhabitable continent.
Jim also writes The Bulletin, Protiviti’s publication on
governance-related issues, and more recently wrote Frequently Asked
Questions Regarding the Sarbanes-Oxley Act Executive Certification
Requirements and all three editions of Guide to the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act: Internal Control Reporting Requirements. He recently wrote
Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Enterprise Risk Management,
which was published in February 2006.

The Role of Internal Auditing in Sustainable
Development and Corporate Social Reporting
2006 Esther R.
Sawyer Winner Tiffany Daykin
Tiffany Daykin has a Chemical Engineering degree from
the University of Texas at Austin, and is currently in the MBA
program at UT Dallas, graduating in spring 2007. Tiffany has worked
as a software consultant for six years with five years experience
focused in the oil and gas (accounting) industry. She left software
development to become an engineering consultant for a company called Nexidea. Currently, she is working as an associate at Nexidea
and participating and consulting in projects for international
refineries.
The Esther R. Sawyer Scholarship Award is granted annually
to an individual entering or currently enrolled in a graduate
program in internal auditing at an Internal Auditing Educational
Partner school, based on submission of an original manuscript. The
award honors Esther Sawyer, who was not an internal auditor, but was
an avid proponent of internal audit curricula in colleges and
universities and promoted internal auditing as a lifetime career.
2006 Award Topic:
Social responsibility reporting by publicly traded companies has
become an expected part of doing business on a global scale. The
IIA's Standard 2130 on Governance states that internal auditing
"should contribute to the organization's governance process by
evaluating and improving the process through which:
- Values and goals are established and communicated
- The accomplishment of goals is monitored
- Accountability is ensured
- Values are preserved.”
What is the role of internal auditing in sustainable development
and corporate social reporting?

Chapter News
 IIA Research Foundation
The Research Foundation has thus far in 2006 issued two
additional Global Technology Audit Guides (GTAG). These include:
- Global Technology Audit Guide 5: Managing and Auditing
Privacy Risks - One of the many challenging and
formidable risk management issues faced by organizations today
is protecting the privacy of customers and employees personal
information. This GTAG covers privacy concepts, principles, and
frameworks. GTAG 5 will aid Chief Audit Executives, internal
auditors, and management to find the right sources as guidance
for their organizations. It provides the insight into privacy
risks that the organization should address when it collects,
uses, retains, or discloses personal information. This GTAG
elaborates on how to deal with privacy within the audit process
and also provide a generic outline for a privacy audit program.
- Global Technology Audit Guide 6: Managing and Auditing
IT Vulnerabilities - This guide was developed to help
chief audit executives (CAEs) and internal auditors ask the
right questions of IT security staff when assessing the
effectiveness of their vulnerability management processes.
Throughout the vulnerability management process, the role of
internal auditors is to assess the effectiveness of preventive,
detective, and mitigation measures against past and future
attacks. In addition, auditors need to inform the board of
directors of the threats, vulnerabilities, and corrective
measures taken to fix problem areas. In particular, auditors
identify where IT security can implement more effective
vulnerability management processes and better validate existing
vulnerability remediation efforts.
Both of these reports are in paperback form and can be ordered
online at –

CARRYING ON A LEGACY – THE COMMON BODY OF KNOWLEDGE 2006
The Institute of Internal Auditors Research Foundation (IIARF) is
committed to understanding how the practice of internal auditing is
carried out around the world and using this knowledge to provide
guidance to our more than 115,000 members. Today, this effort is
taking a monumental step forward.
The IIARF is performing an ongoing research program, entitled the
Common Body of Knowledge (CBOK), which will broaden our
understanding of how internal auditing is practiced around the
world. This comprehensive study will be updated every three years
and will become a permanent program of The IIA Research Foundation.
What is the Common Body of Knowledge (CBOK)?
- The most important research study the IIARF has ever
undertaken
- The first project funded by the William Bishop III, CIA
Memorial Fund
- We envision this project to be a living legacy of Bill’s
passion for internal auditing
- Bill was a tremendous supporter of internal audit research
and CBOK will provide a fitting tribute to Bill’s contributions
to the profession of internal auditing
- A comprehensive survey that will capture the state of the
internal auditing profession throughout the world including: •
The knowledge and skills that internal auditors possess
- The varying skill and organizational levels that practice
internal auditing work
- The actual duties performed by internal auditors
- The structure of internal audit organizations
- The types of industries which practice internal audit
- The regulatory environment of various countries
- CBOK will provide an understanding of the unique value-added
role internal auditing has in organizations throughout the world
- This understanding will enable us to better define the
future of internal auditing and ensure that it remains a vibrant
and relevant contribution to organizations
- The results of CBOK will drive many crucial aspects of The
IIA for the next 3 years, including:
- Certifications and exams
- Standards
- Advocacy
- Practice Advisories
- Educational Programs
- Educational Products
- Publications
HOW CAN YOU PARTICIPATE?
- Visit the CBOK web site at
www.theiia.org/CBOK and
sign up to take the survey
- Encourage your co-workers and staff to take the survey when
it is released
- Promote the survey within your organization, IIA chapter or
affiliate and other professional groups
