The IIA - Online Webinars Replace Live Conferences

Brenda Roberts is a professional auditor and holds active membership with several associations, including The Institute of Internal Auditors (The IIA). She takes advantage of the workshops, conferences and seminars that are held locally and nationwide to keep current with changes in standards, regulations and practices. Recently, many of these events have been cancelled due to the restrictions put in place related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, The IIA and its associated local chapters have adapted their trainings to online forums, giving professionals opportunities to participate in these important events, while maintaining ‘social distancing’.

These online events will be offered to The IIA members over the next several months and recordings will be available to everyone at a later date. Topics include “Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance and its Growing Importance to Corporate Boards” and “Utilizing Resources and Technology to Advance Internal Audit.”

Recent articles, published by The IIA are highly relevant, given the recent circumstances of the COVID-19 crisis, including: “Rethinking Preparedness: Pandemics and Cybersecurity” and “Lessons from Ebola.” And blog posts focusing on economic changes include: “Pandemic and Looming Recession Demand Internal Auditors Step Up”, and “Initial Pandemic Responses Didn’t Leverage Internal Audit.”
