We are a professional organization that is closely related to the Internal Audit Program at the UH C.T. Bauer College of Business. We currently offer members the opportunity network with other internal audit professionals and to learn about internal audit related issues at the monthly luncheons that are hosted by the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) Houston chapter. For the Spring 2011 semester, we will also be involved with the colloquiums held as part of the Internal Audit Program. This will allow our members to network with companies and to learn about internal audit related issues. Students may also attend (free of charge) the Houston IIA annual conference on April 17-18 by volunteering for the event through our organization.
Members in our organization are mostly comprised of students studying Accounting, Finance, and Information Systems. However, IASA welcomes all undergraduate, post-bacc and graduate students currently enrolled in courses in the C.T. Bauer College of Business. Students who have a desire to learn more about the internal audit profession are encouraged to join IASA.
Our goal is to advocate internal audit as a career choice for students at the undergraduate and graduate levels. IASA will accomplish this by supplementing classroom instruction with professional development resources, networking opportunities, extracurricular activities, and social events.
