President’s Message Audit never sleeps, at least according to our IIA Inter-national Chairman, Angela Witzany. And she’s cer-tainly demonstrated that during her visit to our chap-ter. She delivered a fantastic presentation at the March Meeting on only two hours of sleep as she’d stayed up most of the night working to address an emerging situation at her company.
One of our favorite jokes is to set our out-of-office message to something along the lines of “I will be out of the office from xx/xx to xx/xx. If you desperately need me to come audit you, feel free to call my cell.” It’s in jest, and usually the humor is appreciated by our coworkers, but it also reveals a perception that audit is rarely the first to be needed in an emergen-
cy. However, that perception is quickly changing.
As Angela stressed, auditors are being more heavily relied upon as trusted advisors by our companies. At the CAE roundtable in March, it was interesting to hear CAEs in our Chapter discuss the many ways they are integrating con-sulting work into their audits and being called upon to assist with areas such as ERM, system implementation, and even training! Gone are the days of the Barney Fife auditor stereotype; auditors have worked tirelessly to earn our seat at the table, and our opportunities to add value are greater than ever.
In my company, I’ve watched the scope of internal audit grow over the last five years as we’ve started doing in-house IT audits, significantly increased the scope of our consulting work, served on project teams for systems implementa-tion, implemented a new ERM program, worked with management to find solu-tions for automating reports and other previously manual tasks, and even wrote our company’s new harassment policy video. Our CAE is passionate about delivering value to QuikTrip in any way possible as long as it doesn’t violate any ethical standards about independence, and he certainly leads by example in “never sleeping.” I often saunter into my office at 8 am to find he’s been there since 6 working tirelessly on a special project or consulting engagement
IIA | Tulsa Chapter Newsletter April 2017
that helps make QuikTrip better. And because of this tireless pursuit of excel-lent service to our company, he’s included in strategic discussions and often asked to add audits to the schedule because management values the services that audit provides.
It’s a great time to be an auditor and a great time to be part of the IIA.

Twisted Tangled Trails Presented by City of Tulsa Attorney David E. O’Meilia
David E. O’Meilia has has served the City of Tulsa as its City Attorney past 5 years leading the City’s Legal Department which has a staff of 21 attorneys. He was appointed to the position on January 3, 2012, by former Tulsa Mayor Dewey Bartlett.
Mr. O'Meilia began his career in October 1976 as an Assistant Public Defender in Tulsa Coun-ty and has been practicing law in Oklahoma for over 40 years in both public and private posi-tions. His most notable body of work includes:
During his four-year tenure as an Assistant D.A., Mr. O’Meilia tried numerous high profile homicide and violent crime jury trials, includ-ing the successful prosecutions of the defendant known in the media "the T.U. Rapist."
In 1986, he became an Assistant United States Attorney in the Northern District of Oklahoma assigned to the President's Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force which targeted the most significant high level and international drug traffickers, later becoming the Lead Task Force Attorney.
In 1990, together with then-U.S. Attorney Tony Graham, Mr. O'Meilia ex-tradited to Tulsa, tried and convicted Colombian cartel member Jose Ra-fael Abello-Silva who was represented by attorney Richard "Racehorse" Haynes. Then Director of the FBI, William Sessions, in a commendation to Mr. O’Meilia, called Jose Abello "the highest ranking drug trafficker ever extradited to the United States."
In January, 2002, Mr. O'Meilia established the United States Attorney's Anti- Terrorism Task Force. He also organized the Project Safe Neigh-borhoods program in Tulsa which won several national awards and a number of initiatives combating street gangs, including the Tulsa Area Gang Strike Force.
In 2007, he received the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investiga-tions Division prestigious Chief’s Award.
Mr. O'Meilia received his undergraduate degree in Pre-Law from Oklahoma State University in 1973. In May, 1976, he received his Juris Doctorate from the University of Tulsa College of Law.
Mr. O’Meilia will share his observations on the psychology of people who commit crime. He will also share his extensive knowledge of how to gather evidence to win cases. This information will be helpful to auditors who have a duty to investigate fraud in their organizations.

Auditing Security Monitoring (aka Watching the Watchers) April 18, 2017 | 1:00-2:00 p.m. ET | 1 CPE
The pace and damage of cyber breaches continues to esca-late with no sign of slowing down. As a consequence, regulators and lawmakers have finally started to move toward prescriptive, detailed security regulations that go beyond ITGC and best practice guidance. A specific discipline now being high-lighted within these new compliance requirements is enterprise-wide security mon-itoring, which consists of far more than simple anti-virus and intrusion detection. Learn more here.
A Blueprint: Strategizing Your Anti-fraud Approach May 16, 2017 | 1:00-2:00 p.m. ET | 1 CPE
An organization using its investigative team as their anti-fraud strategy may be doing too little too late to mitigate fraud losses suffered by the organizations. An anti-fraud strategy will allow the organization to build a strong foundation to detect and monitor for fraud with the goal of preventing any losses to the organization. This session will provide attendees with a blueprint, tools, and best practices to assist organizations in developing and implementing an effective anti-fraud strategy. Learn more here.
