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. Generally, members work in internal auditing, risk management, governance, internal control, information technology audit, education, and security.

The IIA Louisville Chapter provides annual scholarships to three local colleges and universities:

• University of Louisville
• Bellarmine University
• Indiana University Southeast

IIA Louisville has a chapter library at Sullivan University.

Dear IIA Louisville Chapter Members,

As we welcome October, I want to take a moment to thank each of you — our dedicated members, past and present officers, and especially our volunteers. Your continued support and involvement are what make our chapter strong, vibrant, and impactful.

Over the past year, we’ve seen steady growth in participation and engagement. Our events have been well attended, and the feedback on our educational sessions has been very positive. We kicked off our new chapter year in September with an insightful session on Combating External Fraud, highlighting the importance of collaboration and innovation in our field.

Looking ahead, I’m excited about our October meeting, which will feature “What is AI and How Should Companies Deploy It?” presented by Michael R. Wieck, D.B.A. This topic is not only timely but also highly relevant to our evolving roles as internal auditors. Whether you're joining virtually or in person, I encourage you to take part and bring your questions.

I also want to encourage each of you to become more involved with the chapter. Consider mentoring a new auditor, serving on a committee, or inviting a colleague or student to one of our events. Every bit of engagement strengthens our professional community and builds the next generation of audit leaders.

We remain committed to providing high-quality CPE opportunities, meaningful networking, and connections with local institutions. These priorities will continue to guide our efforts in the months ahead.

Thank you again for your continued support. I look forward to seeing many of you at our October meeting and throughout the rest of the chapter year.

Warm regards,

Myhanh Pham, CPA, CIA
President, IIA Louisville Chapter
