To My Fellow Chapter Members,

Welcome to another exciting chapter year in Philadelphia!

I am so excited to share with you all the hard work your leadership has put in over this ex-traordinarily hot summer.

First, get out your calendars or your smart phone or tablet, and mark the following dates:

• Monday, September 24th a ½-day workshop on Assertiveness Skills for Auditors at Saint Joseph's University – Registration is now open!

• Wednesday, October 10th a FREE webinar - Privacy and PCI Compliance: Privacy Security - Are You Protecting Your Data Assets and Credit Card Information? – Registration is now open!

• Monday, November 19th our full day Annual Fall Conference – “Declaring Independ-ence” at the Downtown Marriott. The Chapter is delighted to bring Mr. Cody Willard, Mr. Lee Rubin, and Mr. Doug Anderson as our keynote/general session speakers.

• Monday, December 10th we team up with ISACA to offer a full day seminar focused on IT topics at the Deloitte Training Center.

Now that you have your calendars set for the rest of 2012…

Thank you to all who took a few minutes to complete the annual membership survey. I hope that you will see your suggestions reflected in the Chapter’s event offerings. A special thank you, to all who stepped up and volunteered your time and talents! In late August, we held a special conference call to highlight each chapter committee. I enjoyed hearing about all the programs including our jobs board and opportunities to speak at our local colleges and uni-versities.

Last but certainly not least, a save the date for our annual Spring Conference to be held on Monday, April 8, 2013 – as we welcome Mr. Richard Chambers, IIA President and CEO along with Mr. Daymond John from the television show, Shark Tank and founder of FUBU.

CIA Certification

Why Pursue the CIA Certification?

Summer is over, and the new IIA Chapter year is starting. All the excuses for why you

don't have time to study have now gone back to school. No more summer vacations, family

gatherings, or beautiful summer days to distract you from your professional goals.

As this new chapter year gets started, I want to remind everyone why they need to pass

the CIA exam.

First, passing the CIA exam will be a huge personal achievement. It is not easy to

study after work and sit through an examination, but once finished, you will feel on

top of the world. This positive attitude will be reflected in both your job and your

home life. Once you've conquered the first part of the exam, your momentum will carry

you through the remaining ones.

Second, it can open professional doors. What if you don't have any experience in

internal auditing? Attaining a professional certification shows to potential employers

your willingness and determination to succeed. With the high demand for auditors,

employers may be willing to hire employees who have no experience if they have the

proper educational training and certification. Passing the CIA exam is the best way to

open doors to the auditing world.

Third, showing managers your commitment and drive can advance your current job. Being

motivated to master a certification, while balancing professional and personal

responsibilities, will demonstrate to your supervisors the drive and determination that

you possess, not to mention the new skills attained and refined. Even if your employer

does not acknowledge your certification directly, they will notice your hard work and

effort.

Remember, as a Philadelphia Chapter member, you will receive a 20% discount on the

Gleim CIA Review materials. Gleim has been the trusted name in CIA exam preparation for

over 30 years.

Contact Melissa at 800.874.5346, ext. 131, or melissa.leonard@gleim.com to take

advantage of this offer or if you have any questions.

Do you have feedback on what you have read or suggestions on future topics? Maybe you

are studying for the exam or have recently passed and want to share tactics you used.

Email Gleim at iiachapters@gleim.com with your comments.
