Upcoming IIA ConferencesCAE Corner - SmartBriefQualification in Internal Audit Leadership (QIAL)The QIAL is a new, highly distinguished qualification for aspiring leaders, experienced chief audit executives (CAEs), and those CAEs who are new to the internal audit function for their organization. The QIAL focuses on leadership capabilities as applied to CAEs in the key areas of: heading the audit function, influencing strategy and organizational performance, providing opinion and insight, advocating innovation and change, and championing ethics and social responsibility. This new program is unlike any other currently offered by The IIA and will be conducted through a series of case study exams, a presentation, and a panel interview. The content outline covers those topics that are relevant to internal auditors at the highest level, and the knowledge and skills tested are directly linked to the most recently released Competency Framework. This new designation will be launched at The IIA’s 2014 International Conference on July 8, so more details on eligibility and enrollment will be available. To learn more, please contact [email protected].

Upcoming IIA Heartland Iowa Chapter Meeting/Event ScheduleTopic: COSO 2013 FrameworkDate: Thursday, September 18th, 12:00-2:00pm, lunch at 11:30Speaker: Brent Olson, Director – Risk Advisory Services, McGladreyLocation & Cost: TBDCPE: 2

While the 1992 COSO Framework (1992 Framework) is still in effect, COSO has indicated that the 2013 Framework will supersede the 1992 Framework, effective December 15, 2014. The SEC has stated that the longer an entity continues to use the 1992 Framework beyond the transition date, the more likely they are to receive questions from the Staff about such use. As a result, many public entities have begun to evaluate the impact of the 2013 Framework on their assessment of their system of internal control. Furthermore, during the transition period, while COSO has indicated that use of the 1992 Framework is appropriate, COSO and the SEC Staff have indicated that management should disclose in their annual assessment which version of the framework is used.
