September 4, 2020 TO: Internal Audit Committee RE: Upcoming ICI Internal Audit Committee Event: Virtual Committee Meeting on Tuesday, November 17 from 9am-Noon

 

Please note that we have set the date for the next virtual meeting of ICI’s Internal Audit Committee. It will be held on Tuesday, November 17, 2020 from 9:00 a.m. to noon [Eastern]. While a large portion of the meeting will be a discussion of members’ issues and your auditing plans for 2021, we are reserving an hour of the meeting for either a member-led discussion or a presentation by an outside presenter on a topic of interest to you. I will be reaching out to you by email to determine which of these you prefer and then we will plan accordingly. [We will have a short break between the presentation and member discussion portions of this meeting.]

I also wanted to let you know that the virtual meeting of your London colleagues on the ICI/ICI Global International Internal Audit Advisory Committee has been scheduled for Tuesday, November 3rd from 8 – 11 a.m. [Eastern]. The reason I am letting you know this is because Elizabeth Sandwith of the Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors has agreed to present to the Committee during the first hour of that meeting on the topic of the speed of change within audit.  Members of the US Committee will be invited to join us for the presentation.

Finally, in addition to these two events, please know that I am in the process of trying to arrange a speaker on the topic of COVID-19 auditing risks/auditing with changed controls during the pandemic. If I am able to do so, I will set a date and time for a one-hour presentation on this topic for both the UK and US audit committees as I believe this is a hot topic for auditors.

At this time, please just save these dates on your calendar. Approximately three to four weeks in advance of the November virtual meeting, I will be reaching out to you via email to see what issues you would like me to add to the agenda for discussion.

If you have any questions about the above discussed events or if you have any suggestions for improving the value of the committee to you, please do not hesitate to let me or the committee’s chair, Jeffrey Coaxum (BBH) know (jeffrey.coaxum@bbh.com). Jeffrey and I look forward to connecting with you in November if not before!

Take care and stay safe and well!
