Networking Nite, 25 Jan 2011

About a hundred attended the Networking Nite to mark IIAS 35th anniversary celebration kick-off. In his opening address, President Uantchern Loh presented these mysterious (perhaps lucky) numbers - 70, 35, 3.5 in 10, 1000 and SAC. These are significant numbers which represent IIA coming of age. Number 70 reflects IIA Inc's seven decades of global development in internal auditing, 35 is IIAS' years of establishment in Singapore with a 3.5 times jump in membership numbers from 2001 to 2010. This month, we welcome our 1,000th CIA-certified member. IIAS, through President Uantchern's representation, is liaising closely with Singapore Accountancy Council (SAC) to develop a niche IA specialisation pathway. Mr Loh introduced the new Mentoring Scheme and added that roundtable discussions with CAEs are being planned to exchange topics of interest on internal auditing. After the award presentation, a fengshui master shared his predictions on the market outlook in the Year of the Rabbit while a speaker gave tips on how to stay healthy. Members had a go at the visceral fats test and fengshui consultations.




David Landsittel, Chairman of COSO, says after his inaugural visit to Singapore as Guest of Honour at 2010 Annual Conference….


“I found my trip to Singapore to be a very worthwhile one -- particularly, chatting with others at lunch, dinner and breaks to learn a bit about their own cultures and backgrounds.  Everyone I met was impressive, a testament to the IIA and the state of the internal audit profession in Asia.  While progress differs country to country, the profession has come a long way over the last several years.   And the energy, interest and professionalism of those attending your excellent conference signal still further development in future years.  The future of internal auditing as a key contributor of value to corporate governance is bright indeed”




SMU Talk by IIAS President, Uantchern Loh


In an industry talk to SMU Accountancy undergraduates, IIAS President Uantchern Loh gave an insightful talk on "Why Do People Turn to the Dark Side" that left deep impressions on them. In the auditing profession, it is beneficial for auditors to understand how the functions of people in the organization can affect the performance of an audit. Auditors are expected to remain independent and objective in their functions. Click here to find out how one SMU student has to say on the talk.
