Letter from your President
Hello to the Indianapolis Chapter! I’m excited to publish the
first newsletter as your new president. It has been rewarding to be
involved in the Chapter over the past few years, and I believe this year
will follow suit. I would just like to share some good news and also
thank those responsible!
First, the conclusion of the latest chapter year (which was June
30th) culminated in the Chapter earning Platinum status, which is
awarded to Chapters that earn Gold status 10 out of 11 years. This was
made possible by the support that the members (you!) have given and continue to give for our
Chapter events and the Internal Audit profession in general. I would also like to thank the
countless volunteers that have given their time and talents in various capacities over the past
decade. The officers, Board of Governors, and committee members have been hard at work to
ensure we carry on that tradition with another successful year. It’s all in an effort to serve you
and the profession.
Next, I would like to thank everyone for their support of the May Regional Conference.
We received extremely positive feedback for the event, and I believe we represented our city and
Chapter well. We thought it would be nice to share some of the highlights related to the event.
Please see the separate Regional Conference notes within this newsletter.
Finally, thank you to those who took the time to complete our annual survey. We’ve
gathered your responses and used them in developing the plan for the programs this year. The
programming schedule is in the process of being finalized. You’ve probably seen that the first
few programs have been published and are open for registration. We hope to see you at many of
these events. I encourage you to promote these training opportunities with others on your audit
team and other departments within your organization if the topics are applicable.
As the chapter year kicks into full swing, please let us know your feedback, either
through the designated event’s survey or email any of the officers listed on the last page of this
newsletter. We would love to know what we can do to better meet our members’ needs.
I look forward to seeing you at an upcoming chapter event!

IPPF Changes
Page 5
LinkedinLinkedin Join the Indy IIA group on LinkedIn - search for "IIA - Indianapolis Chapter".
The IIA is considering changes to the International Professional Practices
Framework (IPPF).
The IIA is now accepting public comments about the changes they are
proposing to the IPPF.
Public comments are due by November 3, 2014. I strongly recommend you read
the IIA website for the exposure draft and review the changes in detail and
provide your feedback. As a member of the IIA and of the internal audit
profession your input and perspective are very important and necessary. Our
profession is only as good as we make it, so please help us make it all it can be.
1. The IPPF will add a mission statement: to enhance and protect
organizational value by providing stakeholders with risk-based, objective
and reliable assurance, advice and insight.
2. Add core principles for the professional practice of internal auditing:
integrity, objectivity, competence, organizational authority, strategically
aligned, resources, quality improvement, efficiency and effectiveness,
communicates effectively, provides reliable assurance, insightful, proactive,
future-focused, and promotes positive change.
3. Implementation Guidance and Supplemental Guidance – The current existing
Practice Advisories and Practice Guides would be replaced with these new
elements. Implementation Guidance will provide potential or acceptable
approaches to achieve Standards conformance. Supplemental Guidance would
give detailed processes and procedures, tools, techniques, programs and step by
step approaches as assistance to conducting internal audit activities but not
necessary to conform to Standards.
4. Addressing Emerging Issues – develop a process for the identifying,
analyzing, and publishing emerging issues guidance quickly.
5. Position Papers – would be deleted as guidance.
6. Required and Recommended – the current “mandatory” and “strongly
recommended” existing IPPF elements will be changed to “Required” and
“Recommended”, respectively
