I’m excited to kick-off the 2016-2017 Chapter year with our Auditor In Charge training starting on October 5th at The Hyatt Place on Yard Street. The session

includes hands-on experience and encourages open discussion of internal audit process challenges, best practices, and lessons learned. Raven Catlin has been asked to return as the facilitator for this training year after year due to popular demand. Please check out our website for more details and to register: https://chapters.theiia.org/central-ohio/Events/Pages/Auditor-In-Charge-Training-October-2016.aspx.

As the Chapter’s newly elected President, I am very excited about what we can accomplish this year! Over the past several months, I’ve given a lot of thought as to what we should focus on this year and I think a great place to start is on “Getting Back to the Basics”. The IIA’s core purpose in North America is “to advance the internal audit profession and serve our members”. The Chapter’s Officers and Board of Governors have been working together this summer to identify short and long term goals for the Chapter including identifying how we can Get Back to the Basics by serving YOU as our members.

We want to increase membership engagement this year and the only way for us to do this is to hear from all of you on what is most important! What type of training do you want? What type of social events and networking opportunities would be most beneficial? How can we advance the profession through community awareness, academic relations and marketing? These are all questions on our minds as we begin the Chapter year.

In the upcoming months, be on the look out for more surveys and opportunities for open dialogue with your Chapter leaders. We’d love to hear your ideas and input! You know what our goals are this year, but what are your goals for the Chapter? What would you like to see us accomplish? Let me know!

I look forward to hearing from you and working with you all to “Get Back to the Basics” this year. Let’s build momentum through enhancing what we have to offer our membership and through getting more of you involved as volunteers and future chapter leaders.

Let’s kick off another great Chapter Year!

Mukesh Singh As Chinese philosopher Laozi once said, “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”. One of our chapter long time members, Mukesh Singh, is embarking on such a journey. Mukesh and about 20 others will hike across Nepal to raise awareness of Nepalese challenges faced since the earthquake in April 2015 as well as to inspire other amputees.

Mukesh, who was born in Nepal, lost his leg in a motorcycle accident when he was twenty-one. Since that time, the fifty-four year old has regained much of his mobility with the assistance of a prosthetic limb.

During the two-week Wounded Heroes Trek of Hope, Mukesh and the other hikers - most of who are amputees - want to show other amputees that they can live a normal life. Their journey begins in Kathmandu and travels through several remote villages with the group returning on October 8th.

To read more about the journey, refer to The Columbus Dispatch September 19th article: http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/life_and_entertainment/2016/09/19/hike.html.

We wish Mukesh and his fellow hikers safe travels.
