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 President, The Institute of Internal Auditors, Saskatchewan Chapter, Inc.
