Dear fellow internal audit professionals,

Thank you for being the reason behind the Institute of Internal Auditors, Philippines’ success. We have reached a record high of 3,097 members in 2019 because of your continuous patronage of the Institute’s events, activities, and initiatives. With gratitude, I wish everyone a blessed and more eventful 2020!

The Institute’s vision by 2023 is to be the primary partner enabling the internal audit practitioners to be indispensable to governance, risk management, and control, critical to enhancing organizational value. In tune with that vision, 2020’s theme will be “IIAP with a Brand-New Beat”.

Throughout the year, the Institute aims to deliver activities that will help internal audit practitioners to be Indispensable, Insightful, Agile Partners to their respective organizations.

• Indispensable Absolutely necessary. Essential. 

• Insightful Discerning. Perceptive.

• Agile Flexible. Dexterous. 

• Partners Associate. Colleague.

Imagine being seen with these qualities in your respective organizations. Wouldn’t you be proud of yourself and your profession, more so if we find new ways of doing things that will improve organizational value?

Harmonized with the Global Institute’s purpose to lead the profession and enhance its value to stakeholders through empowered members, your Institute of Internal Auditors, Philippines, without dispensing old ways, will add new means of delivering services to its members. 

Join me and the rest of the board of trustees, who have put their faith and trust in me when they elected me as the 2020 Chairman and President, in stringing together our individual strengths to create a melody of a unified profession. Let us collectively take on a brand-new beat as we face the challenges that 2020 has to offer.
