Hello Everyone! As the fall winds to a close and we head into the winter season, our Chapter programs have started off with great success. Going forward there is a full program, please see the events calendar on page 4. It is also important to remember that the nominations process for our 2013/2014 year is beginning. The report from the Nominations Committee was emailed to all members on November 15
th and is included in this newsletter (page 9) as well, per our by-laws.
I am pleased to announce the winner of our Members’ Survey contest, Lydia Zhu, CIA Manager with Internal Audit, Ministry of Finance. Congratulations Lydia and thank you to all the members who participated. We had a lot of feedback and we greatly appreciate your time.
The Chapter Achievement Program or “CAP” is a way that we are measured as a Chapter by the IIA. We have been very fortunate to receive Platinum status. There are many components to this status, but one area that I believe we excel in is “Members speaking about the profession of Internal Audit”. It is not surprising that with a membership of over 2,600, how actively we are educating others on the value and benefits of Internal Audit. That being said, I would like to start the CAP Hero Program. This will be a quarterly draw to recognize 3 Heroes who are actively promoting our profession. We want to hear about workshops, sessions, speaking engagements, panels, etc., where you, a member of the Chapter have spread the word on Internal Audit. We will announce the names of the winners in the Newsletter with the added benefit of hearing about all the great things members are doing and getting CAP points too. To turn a phrase, if you are talking about Internal Audit – “There’s a CAP for that!” Please email our Administrator at [email protected] with your info and we will make sure it is included.
Again, the Executive and Board are here for you and we want to make your membership rewarding and valuable.
On behalf of the Executive and Board, I send you best wishes for this holiday season and for a successful and rewarding New Year!
Jeff McIlravey, CFSA, President IIA Toronto Chapter [email protected]

IIA–CANADA AWARD WINNERS ANNOUNCED AT ANNUAL NATIONAL CONFERENCE IIA–Canada annually presents three recognition awards at the conference. Nominations were sought from the Canadian membership during the summer.
The Arthur Child Distinguished Service in Canada Award is bestowed for contributions to the profession of internal auditing through participation in the activities of The IIA in Canada. The award is named for Arthur Child, chief auditor at Canada Packers and instrumental in the development of the first chapter founded north of the border, the Toronto Chapter on April 24, 1944. This year the award was presented to Mr. Brian Brown, former chair of the Interim Canadian Board for his passionate, selfless commitment as a volunteer leader to the Winnipeg Chapter, IIA–Canada, and IIA North America.
Brian has served for the last two years as chair of the Interim Canadian Board as well as in various capacities with The IIA, including on the Global and North American Boards. From 2004 to 2008 Brian was the Canadian representative on The IIA's Global Board of Directors and North American Board while also serving as a member of the Canadian Council. In 2007-2008, Brian also served as vice chair, operations and chairman of The IIA’s Chapter Relations Committee of North America. Brian also instructs seminars as a Distinguished Faculty Member of The IIA's volunteer instructor program and represents the profession by providing instruction to other professional bodies, including The Directors’ College and The Institute of Corporate Directors.
The IIA–Canada Contribution to the Profession of Internal Auditing Award recognizes individual members for overall contribution to the profession in Canada and globally through research, publications, education, or other developments in the field of internal auditing. This year’s winner is Lal Balkaran. A prolific writer, Lal has published books and articles throughout the world. Lal’s writings continue to be referenced in many forums. Lal has been a member of The IIA for over 25 years and is a past Chair of the Toronto Chapter.
The Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes individual members who, through a lifetime of accomplishments and dedication to the profession and to the Institute, have impacted the Canadian practice of internal auditing, advanced the awareness of IIA–Canada, and inspired professionals in Canada and around the world to make a difference in our profession and in the organizations we serve. This year’s winner, Alphonse Galluccio, has demonstrated his commitment to the profession of internal auditing, locally at the chapter level in Montreal as well as globally through international conferences. Alphonse has served the Montreal chapter as president in 1995-1996 and again from 2002 to 2004, and has been chairman of the board since 2009 when the IIA Montreal Chapter governance structure was modified. In addition, Alphonse advocates for the internal audit profession through instruction at Laval University. His passion for the profession really stands out through all the organization work that he has carried out of the years when serving, planning, and chairing conferences.
