Happy Holidays!
President’s Message understand risk assessment, risk appetite, and means for mitigating/compensating for risks. As such, we should all be doing our part to promote the profession, educate our businesses, our peers outside of work, and generally lend a helping hand in discussions around risk in everyday decisions. I am thankful we have a professional organization like the IIA to package this message, research tools and techniques for assessing and deploying risk management methods, and educating like-minded professionals.
As the calendar rides out I wanted to remind you the CPE credit deadline is also quickly approaching. Please remember to submit all of your CPE credits prior to the December 31 deadline to maintain your active certifications.
Looking to 2020, we have several great events lined up, including our largest and most popular event, the March Multi-Track. The next couple of meeting include: • January 9 with our annual Ethics meeting
featuring Lamar Pierce at the Hilton Frontenac. Lamar will discuss his research which “focuses on how the same economic and psychological mechanisms that impact employee productivity also influence ethics and misconduct”.
• February 6 will be a ticket that you’ll want for sure, a Stanley Cup Champion St. Louis Blues ticket that is. We will be meeting at the Enterprise Center to hear Keira Emerson, Blues’ VP Strategy and Business Intelligence, provide an overview of how she and her department use data analytics. There will also be limited tickets for sale to the game. Stay tuned for details on registration.
What Else is Inside?
St. Louis IIA Members - Happy Holidays! I hope everyone had a terrific Thanksgiving weekend with friends and family! As hectic as it is, I love this time of year; seeing lights on houses and in Tilles Park, trees on top of cars, red kettles and bell ringers in front of stores, and the generosity and cheerfulness that the season brings.
This past Wednesday, I was able to attend our annual December social event at Third Degree Glass Factory along with 60+ fellow members of our chapter and ISACA. The venue did not disappoint as Doug Auer, Co-founder of Third Degree, provided an overview of their operations, the path leading up to and into the future not only for Third Degree but that entire section of the Central West End.
As I listened to Doug discuss his journey past, present, and future, it had me thinking about risk and the fact that is everywhere in our daily lives. Doug took some big risks during his education and early career and continues to plan for future endeavors with more risks. We too, take many risks in our own careers and in our daily lives. This risk is not contained to the finances and operations at our respective businesses, but spill into our personal lives as we buy gifts, interact with friends and family online, share holiday photos, etc.
No matter what the activity, I feel that we as internal auditors are more prepared than many of our friends and family as we

Chapter Achievement Program (CAP) CAP is the acronym for Chapter Achievement Program. The program has been established on the premise that the basic mission of the chapter is to serve its members first and then the internal audit profession. The program, sponsored by the International IIA, encourages local chapters to be active both for the benefit of the chapter members and of the local community. Local chapters earn credits for the CAP through in the following categories: a) service to members; b) service to the profession, and c) chapter administration. The Chapter Achievement Program is made up of three performance levels: bronze (685 credits), silver (1,060 credits), and gold (1,560 credits). Thanks to your efforts, our chapter has attained gold status every year since 1997. After ten consecutive years of achieving gold, a chapter achieves Platinum level which this chapter has earned since 2006. So what can a member do to earn CAP points for the chapter? Examples, include:
Attend the monthly chapter meetings; Attend chapter sponsored seminars; Utilize the chapter sponsored Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) review course; Earn an IIA certification; Develop questions for the CIA exam; Recruit new members; Present speeches or training sessions; Write internal audit-related articles for publication; Provide an internal audit internship at your company for a student; and Come up with an innovative way to promote the chapter
So, it's easy to contribute and it doesn't take too much of an effort. You can report CAP activity on the chapter website or directly to the CAP Chairperson Brent Statler at [email protected].
