P A G E 5

As part of our “Meet the Of-

ficers” series, we are giving

the Chapter some insight

into who the Officers are,

how they view audit as a pro-

fession, and what their lives

are like outside the office.

This month we spoke with

Doug Douglas, Vice-

President of the IIA Mem-

phis Chapter and Audit Ad-

visor at FedEx.

A native of Memphis,

TN; Doug is an auditor

with several years of ex-

perience in the indus-

try. Doug joined the IIA

Memphis Chapter in

2011 coming from the

IIA Nashville Chapter

where he was a member

since 2001. Before as-

suming the Vice-

President role, he was

the chapter secre-

tary. Since joining the

Memphis Chapter, he’s

played an instrumental

role in helping the Chap-

ter’s obtain incorpora-

tion status. As a result,

the IIA Memphis Chap-

ter was incorporated in

2013. Doug’s desire to

become a chapter officer

stemmed from his com-

mitment to helping the

chapter develop and

maintain a solid network

of audit professionals

within the Memphis ar-

ea. He enjoys watching

Tennessee State Univer-

sity Tigers and Tennes-

see Titans football. He’s

also a Memphis Grizzlies

fan!

Doug’s advice for new

auditors is to always seek

to gain new

knowledge, make an ef-

fort to stay updated on

the latest audit trends

and practices, and don’t

allow your audit practices

to be stagnant in an ever-

changing business world.

Next month’s newsletter will include an interview with the Memphis Chapter’s

Program’s Director, Clint Landman.

one a Happy Thanksgiving!!!! We’re especially thankful for your membership with the

Memphis Chapter.
