Report of the President
It has been an incredible experience and privilege for me to serve as President. I especially enjoyed working with such a dedicated
Board that shares my passion for good governance, internal audit and risk management.
At our Board planning meeting held in July 2014, the following goals were established:
•
To be an indispensable resource for our members;
•
Increase awareness and value of the profession to audit committees;
•
Support and market the benefits of certification; and
•
Be financially secure in order to meet our mission and carry out our goals, while complying with IIA and regulatory
requirements.
We carried out our goals by developing and implementing a number of key objectives and strategies including:
•
Increasing membership communication;
•
Planning and hosting of relevant and timely programs and events; and
•
Partnering with likeminded organizations on initiatives related to internal audit and risk management.
Each of these objectives and strategies were addressed by various committees. For example, the Membership Services Committee,
under the leadership of Bina Bilkhu, took the lead to ensure we had a proper plan in place in order to provide more regular
communication to our members. This was achieved by actively making better use of our newsletter, website, and Linkedin account.
Moreover, the Programs Services Committee, under the leadership of Terina Bird, took their mandate to task and organized a
variety of successful learning and networking opportunities. This included partnering with the ACFE chapter of Saskatchewan on
two training initiatives.
In closing, along with extending my sincere appreciation to all Board members and volunteers. I would like to take the opportunity
to specifically thank four Board members who are stepping down from the Board, Jenny Schmalenberg from SGI, Debbie Marcoux
from Concentra Financial, Rob Burgess with KPMG, and Debi Moore from SLGA. We are extremely grateful for your efforts and
continued support.
My best,
David Helberg, MBA, CIA, CFE, CRMA

Proud to be an Internal Auditor
Proclamations declare May Internal Audit Awareness Month
Saskatoon, S.K. (May 1, 2015) — Citizens of Saskatchewan have been asked to recognize May
2015 as Internal Audit Awareness Month through proclamations made by the City of Regina,
City of Saskatoon, and the Province of Saskatchewan. International Internal Audit Awareness
month is recognized annually in May and is promoted by individual Internal Audit Departments
and The Institute of Internal Auditors to raise awareness of the Internal Audit profession and the
value they contribute to their organizations.
Internal Audit Departments throughout Saskatchewan will be launching Internal Audit awareness
campaigns during the month of May. The focus for many departments will be debunking the
myths surrounding Internal Audit and educating others about the value that Internal Audit can
provide. Tied to the notion of Internal Audit departments providing value-added services within
their organizations, a theme for this year’s campaigns is “What can I do for YOU?”
“Our objective this year is to find fun ways to engage others in conversations about Internal
Audit,” said Darcie Hellman, CIA, Internal Auditor at Affinity Credit Union. "Internal Audit
Awareness is about teaching others what we do, but also showing that we are approachable and
that we do not fit the ‘scary auditor’ image that many people have in mind."
For more information about Internal Audit Awareness month, contact David Helberg at
306.227.9986 or visit the www.iiasask.ca or www.theiia.org.
