MISSION

The Houston Chapter of The Institute of Internal

Auditors is a professional association of internal auditors involved in

promoting professional growth and progress for the

practice of internal auditing.

The 2,750-member Houston Chapter of the IIA is the second largest chapter in the United States and one of the oldest chapters in the world. We have a long history of serving our members and promo�ng our profession. When I was elected President, it was my hope to con�nue that tradi�on. I considered my role a privilege and worked diligently with the officers and board to achieve our objec�ves. I hope you were as pleased as I was with our collec�ve accomplishments to maintain our stature as a premier chapter.

We understand not all of our members are able to a�end our events and may not be aware of the ac�vi�es of the Chapter. The purpose of this annual report is to highlight our achievements during the year so our members see how the Chapter is serving its mission. The most important ingredient for our ac�vi�es is our volunteers, and the second most is the funds needed to execute the ini�a�ves. To that effect, this year the Chapter established an investment policy so funds can grow to sustain our ac�vi�es in the coming years. This was a major accomplishment for the Chapter to ensure our future success. On the same note, we also revamped our Chapter governance, approved a new set of bylaws, and led a new cer�cate of forma�on. We hope these building blocks will serve as a solid founda�on to build upon in the years to come.

I’d like to thank the officers, board of governors, and numerous volunteers for their support and dedica�on during my tenure; I could not have done it without them. The incoming officer group is just as dedicated, and I look forward to watching them from my new posi�on on the board of governors as they take our Chapter to even greater heights.

- Rumy Jaleel-Khan, Houston Chapter President (2014-2015)

Building Our Future—Success with Junior Achievement

More than 50 members served the Chapter in a volunteer capacity over the past year. Addi�onally, students assisted the IIA Houston Chapter, primarily from the University of Houston’s Internal Audit Student Associa�on. Of the ten largest professional associa�ons organiza�ons in Houston, the IIA is the only one with no paid staff. Thanks to our volunteers for their service and passion!

We appreciate our volunteers!

The Houston Chapter relies on its commi�ed volunteers to help the Chapter achieve its mission. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Randy Fernandez, Volunteer Chair at randy.fernandez26@gmail.com.

On February 9, 2015, the Junior Achievement Event at the Berry Center was a great success! There were over 8 Middle Schools represented. In total, approximately 3500 students participated by choosing a track based on their interest. Chevron presented on the “Business” track. Jamie DuBray, Client manager - IT Audit, spoke for 20 minutes and took 5 minutes of questions, then turned it over to her counterpart (CEO of a Credit Union) who also spoke for 20 minutes and had 5 minutes of questions. The two presenters rotated every hour and gave the same presentation 4 different times. Each session there were somewhere between 75-100+ students.
