IIA NZ Auditor in Charge Mentorship Forum

NZ Based Overview:

This is our final session for 2025, and what a way to wrap up the IIA NZ Auditor in Charge Mentorship Forum! As we close out this year's Auditor in Charge Mentorship Forum and kick off the IIA NZ Conference 2025 activities, we want to take a moment to express our sincere thanks for your participation throughout the year. This event is designed not only to show our appreciation but also to provide a valuable opportunity for you to meet and network face-to-face with others who are at a similar stage in their careers.

The IIA NZ Auditor in Charge Mentorship Forum is one of three key components of the new IIA NZ Training Programme, developed in collaboration with Massey University. This hybrid mentorship forum has been specifically designed for Auditors in Charge who are in the mid-stage of their internal audit careers.

This group is tailored to those who are new to the role, with up a minimum of 48 months of experience as an Internal Auditor and whom is now a team supervisor. It provides a unique platform for aspiring professionals to share insights, exchange experiences, and support one another as they navigate their careers in internal auditing. The forum also welcomes Master's students enrolled in the training programme.

This final Auditor in Charge Mentorship Forum, held in November, is an in-person-only Meet n Greet networking session, linked to the IIA NZ Conference. Attendees will be guided by Senior Internal Auditors (subject matter experts) through engaging discussions, expert-led mentorship, and collaborative interactions. Forum members will gain valuable knowledge, skills, and resources that are essential for their professional growth and development.

Join us on this journey of learning, collaboration, and professional growth in the world of internal auditing.
