February 2013 AUDIT WIRE

President’s Message Dear Members, Our chapter year is almost coming to an end; we have just three months before the new officers assume their responsibilities on June 1. The March Luncheon will be our annual meeting, and it is important for two reasons: • About five years ago, the Board of Governors of the Houston IIA formed a

Chapter Governance Task Force (CGTF). The CGTF has worked tirelessly to establish good governance for our chapter, culminating in our revised bylaws and certificate of formation. We hope you were able to read these documents we circulated in advance. We will be asking for your approval to establish these as the foundation for our chapter moving forward.

• We will be electing the next slate of officers and Board of Governors to run the Chapter. The Nominating Committee has identified capable individuals to serve on the Board of Governors and as officers for the chapter year 2015-2016. If you are interested in serving in one of these positions, we will be accepting nominations from the floor.

Early registration for the Sixth Annual Houston IIA Conference is closed and we are almost sold out. We have a few more seats available for those who are still interested – hurry! The Conference Committee has been working hard to bring you another excellent conference. We hope to see you there. Our Second Annual Government Auditing Conference was held on February 23. Once again this was very well-attended by approximately 100 members from the government sector. We hope to continue this event in years to come given the great feedback we have received. The Houston Chapter’s 18th Annual Houston Audit Challenge Golf Tournament will be held on May 21, 2015, at the Black Horse Golf Club. To volunteer your time or contribute to this great event, contact Jim McAnelly at [email protected]. If you attended last month’s luncheon I hope you were pleased with our new location. So far the feedback has been great! Please email me with your ideas and suggestions to take the Chapter to even greater heights. Rumy Jaleel-Khan Houston Chapter President [email protected]

Bob’s community service was recently recognized when he was awarded the prestigious Jefferson Award for Outstanding Community Service.

Topic: READY FOR ANYTHING

Summary of Topic: We are living in unprecedented times; politically, economically…even climatically. Now more than ever, people need to be ready for anything. This presentation is an insightful and funny look at what it takes to be ready for whatever the world throws our way.

“Ready for Anything” is based on ten years of improvisational performance and interviews with some extraordinary people who successfully face the unknown every day – people like Professional Improvisers, Trauma Surgeons, Astronauts, Navy SEALS, Animal Behaviorists and even a homeless man who spent 35 years surviving the streets of urban America. It’s also based on nearly five decades of rolling with the punches of life, emerging with a smile and even getting a few shots in. “Ready for Anything” will spark the audience’s sense of humor and their sense of adventure. And it will teach them how to take whatever the world gives them and make it work for their lives and for their careers.

Objectives: • Participants will understand the major obstacles and impediments to readiness • Participants will learn some basic principles of improvisation and stress management • Participants will learn how to view their challenges differently • Participants will understand how to take the unexpected and make it work for their live and their careers

Experience Level: Basic/Intermediate

Prerequisite: None

Anti-Corruption Data Analytics Working Group

BHP Billiton’s Internal Audit function is launching a cross-industry working group to facilitate knowledge sharing and develop data analytics for Anti-Corruption and Business Conduct. Members will initially meet in a large group format to establish the working principles of the project and divide into subgroups that will each be responsible for developing one to two data analytics based on their interest and expertise. The goal is to keep individual participant’s commitment to 24 hours or less. However, this will be dependent on the number of team members and the level of knowledge each member brings to the table. Each participating member should be a subject matter specialist in one or more of the following areas: • FCPA expertise with existing work programs / analytics that can be shared • SAP (or Peoplesoft) knowledge of tables and transaction codes related to Training, Human

Resources, Treasury, General Ledger, Supply, or Expenses • ACL, SQL, or similar programming Please email [email protected] by March 15th if you would like to join the work group or know someone within your Internal Audit, Controls, or Compliance departments who may be interested.

Junior Achievement Recap - Berry Center The Junior Achievement Event at the Berry Center last Monday, Feb 9, 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.

Houston IIA Conference for Government Members On February 23, approximately 100 government auditors attended the 2nd Annual Government Auditors Conference at the Petroleum Club in downtown Houston. This event was a free event for all members designated as a government member to support our Chapter’s objective to offer low cost quality CPE learning opportunities. Thanks to Sherrie Matson who served as the Conference Chair and all the speakers for their contribution to a very successful program. The speaker presentations from the conference are highlighted below and will be made available on the Chapter website. Ken Mory encouraged auditors to not be intimidated by information technology. He discussed how auditors could embrace IT and considerations for make it a part of every day auditing, including:

• Cybersecurity threats • Logical and physical security • Guarding against the “snowflake theory” • Baseline approach for IT auditing • IT security dependencies on non-technical policies and procedures

Christie Pugnetti traveled in from Washington DC on behalf of the GAO to discuss the newly released Green Book and recent developments with the Yellow Book highlighted below:

• The GAO intended to have the Green Book harmonize with COSO • Must and should are both requirements • The Green Book are standards whereas COSO is a framework. • The Yellow Book has a new Interpretation regarding Peer Reviews • Green Book has distinct documentation requirements • The Green Book provides standards for management and criteria for auditors • Components, principles, and attributes all must work together to be effective

The enthusiastic Bruce Truitt enlightened the auditors on audit sampling covering the following

• Professional standards: AICPA, IIA Practice Advisory, SAS 39

• A-133 Audit Guide and DCAA Procedures • Statistical sampling, stratification and extrapolation • Sample size determination and case studies

Matt Brown and Scott Clary of Ernst & Young spoke to us on fraud topics:

• Matt spoke about the Fraud Triangle, Report to the Nation on Fraud, and explained how a Fraud Risk Assessment is developed

• Scott explained how data analytics can be used to detect fraud through various tools and techniques including transaction tagging on high risk key word hits and other red flag criteria

We were very pleased and encouraged with the great turnout and the positive feedback. We plan to continue serving our government members with events such as this in the future.

As the new semester started, University of Houston Internal Audit Student Association (UH IASA) has opened Spring 2015 with several events: rush week, orientation, monthly luncheon and our very first “How to win an interview: A Look from the Interviewer’s Perspective” event. With help of students, during three days of Rush Week officers engaged and signed-up for IASA communication a total of 197 students. This is 260% increase from the previous semester.

Following the Rush Week, we held our Orientation session for the semester. We were very excited to have 46 students in attendance interested in learning more about IASA and joining the organization. Jamie DuBray, IT Audit Client Manager at Chevron, VP of Academic Relations at Houston IIA, and continued supporter of UH IASA, was a guest speaker at our Orientation. Jamie introduced internal audit and the Houston IIA, talked about her career life, and answered various questions from students.

With the leadership of IT Officer, Thien Ngo, and help from all officers, we launched our newly redesigned, user-friendly and informative website www.uhiasa.com. Now students can access information on upcoming events, available job/internship opportunities and scholarships in timely manner, refer their friends to organization and sign-up for our Newsletter.

Finally, we had our first in UH IASA history workshop “How to win the interview: A Look from the Interviewer’s Perspective” which focused on helping students to prepare for upcoming Career Fair. 28 students attended the session. Wendi Stout, CFE, Internal Auditor from Chevron Phillips Chemicals, was the leader of the workshop. As a UH Alumni and former IASA officer, she shared her experience from the student’s perspective and provided valuable tips for successful resumes from the professional background. Wendi also covered such topics as process of selecting interviewees, 30 seconds introduction and assisted with editing resumes.

We are grateful for the continuous support that the Houston IIA provides to UH IASA, and we would like to say again THANK YOU to our guest speakers, Jamie DuBray and Wendi Stout, for their time and continued support this semester! April is National Volunteer Appreciation Month; UH IASA is going to participate in volunteer activities to support our local community. If you or your firm would like to be a part of the volunteer event, please contact Anna Zubkova, Corporate Relations, at [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you!

Many golfers participated in the Houston Audit Challenge last year, and a great time was had by all! The field is expected to be much larger this year, so it will be a great opportunity to get out of the office for a fun day of golf, camaraderie and networking with your friends, clients and colleagues. The event utilizes a scramble format, so golfers of all skill levels and abilities may participate.

There will be terrific contests (such as for hole-in-one, beat the pro, closest to the pin and longest drive), door prizes, and the large traveling Houston Audit Challenge trophy will once again be up for grabs! Registration will open soon. Those who wish to play but do not have a full team of four can register as individuals. Players will be matched to complete a full team of four. Please help us make this year’s event better than ever before by spreading the word to your friends and colleagues to participate in this year’s challenge.

Prizes - In addition to the large Houston Audit Challenge travelling trophy that will be in the possession of the winning team for the next year, there will be door prizes, fun contest prizes, a hole-in-one prize and individual and team trophies. All will be presented at the award ceremony with lunch following play.

Registration - Registration will be opened soon. Stay tuned!

Volunteers - Even if you’re not a golfer, you can still take advantage of a wonderful networking opportunity by volunteering to help with this fun filled event. Most of the activities on the day of the event will require only a short shift and we can match your interest and availability with the various tasks. Please contact Jamie Dugas at [email protected] for details or to volunteer.

Chapter Achievement Points (CAP)! One of the ways we gauge our success as a Chapter is through the Chapter Achievement Program (CAP). CAP points are earned for our accomplishments in three areas: 1. Service to Members 2. Service to the Profession 3. Chapter Administration

As of January 31, 2015 we have earned 1057.58 CAP points. I’d like to focus on the second area noted above, Service to the Profession. This area is where you, as a member of the Houston Chapter and the Internal Audit Profession, can help us achieve our goal of Platinum, the highest level the CAP has to offer! There are many ways for you to earn points. To name a few you could, • Speak about the profession or internal audit related topics to others outside of your

company • Submit exam questions for the CIA exam • Participate in an IIA-sponsored Quality Review • Participate in IIA research projects • Teach in Junior Achievement • Submit an article to the Internal Auditor (extra points for getting published!)

Click here for a complete listing. But, how do we actually accumulate the points? Well, you have to let us know! Once you complete an activity, email the CAP Administrator, at [email protected] with the details. We record all points earned, each member who earned them, and report to the IIA once a month. Speaking of active members in the profession, we would like to recognize all members who have reported CAP Service to the Profession activities from June – December 2014.

To everyone who has submitted to date, thank you for providing CAP points for our Chapter and giving back to the profession! We know there are many more of our members who have contributed to the profession this chapter year, so let us know what great work you have done! There is still plenty of time to submit your June 2014 – May 2015 activities to Wendi Stout at [email protected]. For more information, see the CAP section of our website. Thanks for your help!
