opportunities in internal auditing through case competitions, conference participation, career fairs, and attending guest lectures, which places a high demand on students. More than 90 students earned IAEP certification this academic year, more than any other institution in the country. One key IAEP event, Internal Audit/Advisory Awareness Day, saw 52 students and 20 professional stakeholders connect on how students can engage with knowledge from courses in accounting, finance, information systems, and information security in their professional careers. The Internal Audit Center (IAC) received grant funding for a graduate research assistant from the Institute of Internal Auditors global headquarters. In addition, the IAC and SOA sponsored more than 30 chief audit executives from Atlanta firms to host guest lectures in MAcc and undergraduate classes. The IAC also raised $3,000 to cover the cost of student memberships to the IIA for the current MAcc cohort.
