CKIIA Members-

We would like to thank Drew Perry for taking the time to come and speak to our

chapter on the importance of information privacy. Our group really found the topic

very insightful and informational that can be applied in our professional and personal

life.

We are very excited for our event this month. For the month of October, the CKIIA

are very excited to being back Tim Hungerford, who has been very well received by

our members for the past few years. Time is going to be presenting a 4-hour CPE in

the form of a Mystery Fraud Theater event that is built around a mortgage fraud

scenario. The event is scheduled for October 23, 2018 from 11:30am to 4:00pm at

the Valvoline Headquarters. Please register by Friday, October 19, 2018 for the event.

We look forward to seeing you again!

Thanks,

Upcoming Chapter Events and Meeting Calendar

UPCOMING CHAPTER EVENTS

REGISTRATION AND CANCELLATION POLICY

To cover meeting costs including meals, the CKIIA Board has approved a two business day cancellation policy for meetings. For

example, for a Tuesday meeting starting at 11:30 AM, the cancellation must be received by 11:30 AM the Friday prior to the

meeting. If the cancellation is not received by that date, the registrant is responsible for and will be billed for the meeting fee

unless another individual from the registrant’s organization attends in the registrant’s place.

CHAPTER EVENT DETAILS

From above, Peach Blossom Lane looks like another ordinary housing tract. However, as we zoom into the details, we will find a

hot bed of red flags, relationships and issues that could lead fraud. You will assist in weeding through the information and

interviews to unearth the bad seeds.

With a focus on Mortgage, Bankruptcy, and Divorce Fraud, as well as general fraud techniques, the goal of this Mystery Fraud

Training is to teach auditors through a simulated audit experience.

Starting with the Planning phase, you will be supplied with a background, and it will be up to the audience to participate and

develop the audit from there.

This includes:

� Interviewing key personnel being audited throughout the event

� Determining information needs, discussing next steps

� Examining evidence, and drawing conclusions

� Adapting audit programs to meet audit requirements despite time constraints and information availability

� Finally, doing something that many auditors don’t get a chance to do, and perform a confrontational admission seeking

interview.

SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT

For the past 22 years, Timothy Hungerford has been owner of Hungerford Vinton, LLC. The firm performs specialized audits, such

as contract compliance, recovery audits, fraud examination and internal controls. Time has recovered tens or millions of dollars

CHAPTER HAPPENINGS

On September 24, 2018, Board members Ashley Lewis of Tempur Sealy and John Miner of Central Bank & Trust Co. represented

their employers along with our Central Kentucky Chapter during the “Meet the Firms” event at Eastern Kentucky University. The

event allowed Accounting and Finance students a chance to make contacts, provide resumes and discuss potential internships. In

fact, current EKU student, and Tempur Sealy audit intern, Jessica Ralston (Pictured Below) answered questions about what she

has learned during her time as an intern and offered suggestions on how to get the most out of your experience! The students

received plenty of swag from Tempur and Central Bank along with information on our IIA chapter in the hopes of providing

opportunities to connect with potential employers and making them potential future members!

Our chapter is looking for all opportunities to reach out to students and employers in our communities where we can show the

benefits of being a member of the CKIIA. If you know of any opportunities like this, please contact John Miner and Ashley Lewis

(email addresses provided on page 5) and help to continue to grow our chapter!

CERTIFICATION DEVELOPMENTS

The IIA is committed to providing a clearly defined, professionally relevant suite of global certifications to support internal auditors

as they progress through their careers. To ensure a strong focus on the appropriate priorities for the profession, The IIA recently

conducted multiple global market studies and sought input from global affiliates, volunteer leaders, and the Global Board of

Directors. The resounding conclusion of this research is that they must focus on the Certified Internal Auditor® (CIA®) as their

premier certification.

As a result, the Global Board approved a repositioning of the Certified Government Auditing Professional (CGAP), Certified

Financial Services Auditor (CFSA), and Certification in Control Self-Assessment (CCSA). The CGAP and CFSA will transition from

certification programs to assessment-based certificate programs, and the CCSA will be aligned and integrated within the

Certification in Risk Management Assurance® (CRMA®) program.

If you have already applied to the existing CGAP, CFSA, or CCSA certification program, The IIA encourages you to complete the

program within the remainder of your four-year program eligibility window. Once you earn the certification, it will remain a valid

designation supported and recognized by The IIA as long as you earn and report the necessary continuing professional education

(CPE) hours each year.

Additionally, if you have not earned your CIA, now may be the perfect time to do so. The IIA is offering a CIA Challenge Exam to

individuals who achieve their CGAP, CFSA, or CCSA certification by December 31, 2018. The CIA Challenge Exam was developed

based on gaps between CCSA, CGAP, and CFSA exam syllabi and the CIA exam syllabi, with an emphasis on the International

Professional Practices Framework (IPPF).

transformation from tolerated to treasured in a long, but ultimately rewarding,

journey to relevance.

The Internal Audit Foundation

Internal Audit…Timely. Relevant. Insightful.

As an internal audit professional, you want to become known as the trusted advisor within your sphere of influence. However,

the challenge to stay ahead of ever-changing regulations and keep abreast of best practices can be daunting.

At the Internal Audit Foundation, we exist to help audit leaders, practitioners, students, and academics experience continuous

growth in their careers to propel them to become respected as trusted advisers as well as thought leaders within the industry.

For the four decades, our former name – The IIA Research Foundation – was synonymous with research, knowledge, and insights

into the profession. However, we are more than research. Relying solely on the generous donations of our contributors and

sponsors, we chose our new name to reflect and capture the essence of why we exist and what we want to accomplish.

Like you, we are constantly evolving to meet the demands of our stakeholders. Learn more about the Foundation.
