The Data Analytics User Group is

roundtable format.
In order to appeal to the broadest
group possible the focus is not on a
specific product (e.g. ACL, Idea, and
Microsoft Excel). Those that are
considering data analytics, as well
as, those that are experts are en-
couraged and welcomed to partici-
pate in the interest of furthering
data analytics usage within the Pitts-
burgh Chapter.
The next meeting of the Data Ana-
lytics User Group will be in De-
cember 2016. Interested parties
should e-mail Travis Hudson at:
attend the session. Additional in-
formation will follow after the
RSVP.

Looking for a way to get more involved with Pittsburgh IIA Chapter? We are al-ways looking for volunteers to aid in building our wonderful organization. Taking a leadership role or becoming part of a committee will provide a great oppor-tunity to give back to the Pittsburgh Chapter as well as provide many network-ing opportunities! A variety of volunteer roles are available allowing for a range of responsibilities and time commitments providing a perfect opportunity for everyone to get involved! As this year begins, we are specifically looking for volunteers to put their names forward during the nomination process to run for chapter officer. Duties for the open positions are as follows:
Membership Manager – on a monthly basis, work with the newsletter chair to investigate members whose email addresses were undeliverable. Utilizing our membership file, per-form data analytics in variety of characteristics to help the chapter monitor attendance and follow up on non-attendees. Volunteer could perform both or just one of these functions
Programming Committee – assist programming chair with the development/organization of a chapter event or two. This could take up to 4-6 hours per month throughout the chapter fiscal year depending on the length/extent of the event.
Education Advocacy – work with a professor, accounting head, or other at a university to help get the IIA into the university to speak either during a class, or ideally, as a speaker for an accounting association meeting. This could take very little time, just a few emails and/or personal meetings and follow-up. Less than 6 hours in a year.
Education Advocacy – be willing to present in front of college students. We have canned IIA presentations on internal audit. We also present in a panel format with canned ques-tions. This would be a 1-2 hour commitment for the program plus travel time (depending on the school). Any significant or additional parking/mileage would be reimbursed.
Please contact our new Volunteer Coordinator Colin Powell at
[email protected] for more information on how you can get
involved in the Pittsburgh Chapter!
