IIA NZ Conference and Awards 2025
Nomination Period: 1 July - 1 October 2025
Gala Awards Dinner Presentation: Tuesday 4 November 2025
Venue: Legislative Council Chamber, Parliament Buildings, Wellington
As part of IIA NZ’s 40th Anniversary Conference, the Gala Awards Dinner 2025 will be a defining moment in the history of internal auditing in Aotearoa New Zealand. This special evening will celebrate the profession’s evolution, recognise its pioneers, and highlight the critical role internal auditors continue to play in strengthening trust, integrity, and good governance across sectors.
Set against the theme "Honouring the Past, Defining the Future – A Legacy of Excellence in Internal Audit," the dinner will reflect on four decades of progress since we were incorporated while setting the stage for the next generation of audit professionals. It is an opportunity to pay tribute to the individuals and organisations whose contributions have helped shape the internal audit landscape in New Zealand — from those who laid the groundwork in the early years to the leaders driving innovation and those who impact today.
