The IIA Ottawa Chapter is hosting a professional development event focused on combating fraud and corruption in internal auditing. The Institute of Internal Auditors Ottawa Chapter is a non-profit corporation that serves IIA members in the National Capital Region and employees of the Government of Canada nationwide. This event is part of the Chapter’s mission to organize professional development opportunities and provide venues for members and stakeholders to share knowledge in the internal audit profession.
Why it’s worth going
For finance and accounting students interested in internal audit, fraud examination, or risk management careers, this event offers direct exposure to fraud prevention frameworks used by internal audit professionals. The IIA Ottawa Chapter’s events are designed specifically for the National Capital Region, making this particularly relevant for students planning to work in government or public sector finance roles where internal controls and fraud prevention are critical competencies.
Going in prepared
Review fundamental concepts of fraud detection and internal control frameworks before attending, as the session will likely build on foundational audit knowledge. Consider preparing questions about how fraud prevention practices differ across sectors, particularly in government versus private sector contexts, given the Chapter’s focus on serving Government of Canada employees. Bring business cards or have your LinkedIn profile ready to connect with internal audit professionals who may offer mentorship or career guidance.
