Local Authority Internal Audit Virtual Forum
Welcome to our Local Authority Internal Audit Virtual Forum. A monthly virtual forum aimed at internal auditors in local authorities, providing an open environment to share knowledge and experience, air concerns and support each other under Chatham House rules.
Why join us?
Our Local Authority Internal Audit Virtual Forums are interactive MS Teams-based discussions which invite you to converse and collaborate with peers, section 151 officers, and guest speakers (usually subject matter experts), and share your own experiences. The Institute also offers technical and practical guidance where relevant.
Originally set up in response to pandemic challenges, the forum is now a fundamental source of interaction and support for members on a wide range of topics.
The forum is chaired by Piyush Fatania, a member of our council, with support from John Wood, our CEO, Liz Sandwith, our Chief Professional Practices Advisor, and Derek Jamieson, our Regions Director.
How to join us
The forum is invitation-only. Please contact Liz Sandwith (liz.sandwith@iia.org.uk) to request an invitation or to offer to present.
Forum schedule
All meetings take place monthly on a Wednesday at 15:30 on MS Teams and run for 45 minutes.
