About This Chapter ​

The Louisville Kentucky Chapter of the Institute of Internal Auditors has approximately 270 members representing a wide range of businesses in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. The Chapter is a not-for-profit organization that was established to provide its members a means by which they may enhance their knowledge of Internal Auditing and share information.

Internal auditing is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization's operations. Internal Auditors interact with personnel from all areas of an organization. We help our organizations accomplish their objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes.

The Louisville Chapter is an affiliate of The Institute of Internal Auditors, an international professional organization with over 154,500 members in more than 156 countries.

The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) publishes Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing. The IIA also offers a Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) designation that is recognized world wide. Internal Auditors awarded the CIA designation have demonstrated through experience and examination a high level of knowledge of Internal Auditing and are required to obtain continuing education and abide by a code of ethics.

The Louisville Chapter of The Institute of Internal Auditors desires to promote the Internal Auditing Profession, to offer professional development opportunities and to provide a source for networking and sharing of information to its members. Established in 1941, The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) is an international professional association with global headquarters in Lake Mary, Florida, USA. The IIA is the internal audit profession's global voice, recognized authority, acknowledged leader, chief advocate, and principal educator.
