President’s Message The role of internal audit in organizations is rapidly expanding as auditors move from being rule enforc-ers to trusted advisors. Audit departments are being asked to audit culture, corporate strategy, and gov-ernance functions and are increasingly consulted on key business decisions.
It's common, however, for internal auditors to face pressure to remove, deescalate, or change audit results. According to the IIA’s 2015 CBOK global practitioner study, about 30 percent of auditors sur-veyed said they were pressured to suppress or mod-ify their findings.
Last year we anonymously surveyed chapter mem-bers, asking "What does internal audit need from their board?" Of the 39 responses, 19 included the word "support." The overwhelming response was that internal auditors want more support from their board or audit committee, especially on audit recommendations and findings.
In a healthy culture, the CAE not only has direct access to the audit commit-tee but also trusts them to be audit’s biggest advocate, to be equally con-cerned with mitigating significant risks, and to protect him when he takes a stand for valid audit findings. An audit committee or board can only provide this level of support if they are engaged and understand the company's busi-ness and internal audit function.
Internal audit is an exciting field as we are being called upon to serve our companies in innovative new ways.

IIA News & Highlights
QAR Program Details
Are You in Compliance with the IIA Standards?
In an effort to increase the number of organizations conforming to the IIA Standards, particularly Standard 1300, which requires an external quality assessment review (QAR) at least every five years, the Tulsa Chapter is developing a peer review program. Chapter members will be trained in conducting a QAR and will form a pool of qualified re-viewers. In exchange for serving on a review team, members of the pool will be able to arrange an external review of their department at a very low cost. The plan is for pool members to participate without remuneration (except expenses), thus significantly reducing the cost of an external QAR. Organizations being reviewed will be asked to make a contribution to the chapter to support chapter expenses.
In preparation for the peer review program, the Tulsa Chapter will present two half-day workshops this fall. The first will focus on pre-paring your internal audit department for an external QAR; the sec-ond will train auditors to serve as members of an external review team. Each workshop is 4 hours.
Conducting an External QAR
Friday, January 20, QuikTrip Corporation
Internal audit activities that follow the IIA Standards are required to have an external quality assessment review at least every five years. Organizations may be concerned about having a QAR because they are not familiar with what it entails. This workshop will discuss conduct of an external QAR and how you should prepare for an external assessment including the documentation generally requested by an external review team. Course con-tent will be based on The IIA’s Quality Assessment Manual for the Internal Audit Activity. Upon completion of this session, participants should be able to:
Describe elements of an external QAR, Identify documents typically requested by an external assessment team, Evaluate their department’s readiness for an external QAR, and Develop a work plan to prepare their internal audit activity for an external QAR.
Workshop duration: 4 hours (4 hours CPE)
Presentation Method: Lecture and group discussion
Prerequisites: Participation in “Preparing Your Department for an External QAR” or similar preparation is strongly recommended
Presentation level: Advanced
Who should attend: CAEs, experienced audit managers and auditors preparing to serve on an external QAR team
James H. (Jim) Sleezer, MBA, retired as the Manager of Quality Assurance and Improve-ment after nearly 20 years with the Department of Internal Audits for the Oklahoma State Uni-versity/A&M Board of Regents. He completed the IIA’s updated QAIP/QAR training in 2013 and has led Quality Assessment Review teams for a number of institutions.
Jim has presented at IIA and ISACA chapter meetings, IIA Conferences, Association of Col-
lege and University Auditors annual and midyear conferences, and Big 12 Internal Auditors
Conferences. He is a former IIA Tulsa Chapter governor and ACUA board member-at-large,

recipient of ACUA’s Excellence in Service Award.

Analytics and Internal Audit: Global Market In-sights Into the Rising Use of Big Data January 17, 2017 | 1:00-2:00 p.m. ET | 1 CPE
New economy business models, disruptive technologies, and ever-increasing expectations by global regulators have elevated the im-portance of effectively applying analytics to internal audit. As internal auditors seek new ways to innovate in their roles, and gain impact and influence within their or-ganizations, analytics is proving to be a key differentiator. By embedding analytics in every phase of the audit process, internal audit can help the business navigate a world that has become more volatile, uncertain, and complex. By capitalizing on the wealth of data now available — from your own business activities as well as external sources — internal audit can generate valuable new insights, provide greater assurance, and rewrite the rulebook on traditional auditing techniques. Learn more here.
Check out the IIA Foundation’s recent publication from PwC titled: Banking on Change: How to Re-spond to New Expectations for Audit Committees. Audit committees should assess corporate culture to detect and deter unethical behavior in their or-ganizations according to a paper released as part of a new collaboration on thought leadership with PwC.
