Given this responsibility, the PCAOB is in a unique position to provide insights that may be helpful to audit departments and audit committees alike. The most frequent areas where audit deficiencies are identified through the PCAOB’s inspections can provide some great insight into risk areas within your organization as well as areas where external audit firms may be increasing focus.

Join us to review the top recurring areas of concern based on the PCAOB’s most recent inspection reports. The speaker will also discuss how you can leverage these findings to enhance your audit planning & scoping processes, as well as your ongoing dialogue with both the Audit Committee and external auditors.

Chapter Members, It's hard to believe summer is almost over. The kids will be going back to school soon and vacation schedules stop. Now the IIA CPE season begins. We're looking forward to another great year of seminars, lunch meetings, and networking. Please see our "save the date" page for specific topics.

We ended last fiscal year with another great fraud event in May. Almost 300 people attended and all speakers were very informative. We have a great slate of new officers and returning officers who are all excited to serve all the members. We continue to have open positions on many of our committees, please see the listing on page 12. I have volunteered for the IIA Pittsburgh Chapter for over 10 years now and it has been an extremely fulfilling venture. I have met some great people who have become friends and learned a lot about. I ask that if you are willing to spare (or make) a few hours of your time to volunteer, we can most certainly use your help.

"We make a living by what we do, but we make a life by what we give." - Winston Churchill

I truly look forward to this year ahead and hope each of you have the opportunity to attend at least one of the events planned and organized by one of our many volunteers. Thank you for your continued support!
