Seattle University master\u2019s student wins magazine scholarship<\/em><\/p>\n

LAKE MARY, Fla. (Jan. 19, 2018) \u2014 Internal Auditor<\/em> magazine, the world\u2019s premier publication for the internal audit profession, announced today that it awarded a $1,000 scholarship to Brian Salvador, a master\u2019s student at Seattle University in Washington.<\/p>\n

Salvador received the scholarship for his essay in answer to the question, \u201cHow Can Business Acumen Help Internal Audit?\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Brian\u201cHaving strong business acumen means understanding critical business principles and practices relevant to key stakeholders,\u201d Salvador wrote. \u201cIt requires an auditor to quickly grasp the inner workings of a business and generate recommendations for challenges facing the organization.\u201d<\/p>\n

Citing his own professional experience, Salvador noted, \u201cHaving sound business acumen allowed me to provide meaningful recommendations. In areas that I did not possess subject matter expertise, I emphasized having insightful dialogue with project stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Salvador\u2019s essay was chosen from among a number of submissions that addressed the important role business acumen plays in the world of internal audit. The question was chosen based on an article in the October issue of the magazine, \u201cDigging for Knowledge,\u201d<\/a> which looked at how business acumen reinforces internal audit\u2019s value and reduces its limitations. You can read Salvador\u2019s full essay at www.internalauditor.org\/scholarships<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s exciting to share that this month\u2019s scholarship winner also is one of Internal Auditor<\/em> magazine\u2019s 2017 Emerging Leaders,\u201d says Anne Millage, Internal Auditor<\/em> editor in chief. \u201cThese young auditors are already so knowledgeable and show so much promise. The future of the profession is looking very bright.\u201d<\/p>\n

The essay contest is open to undergraduate and graduate students globally and challenges applicants to examine important topics covering six aspects of the profession, from internal audit\u2019s use of data analytics to the risks and opportunities associated with the internet of things. The essays are judged as blind submissions, with winners chosen by a panel of five internal audit professionals from The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) Publications Advisory Committee, Academic Relations Committee, and Committee of Research and Academic Advisors.<\/p>\n

The IIA supports internal audit career opportunities for college students through its Internal Audit Academic Awareness Program and the Internal Auditing Education Partnership (IAEP).<\/p>\n

For additional information on the scholarship program, go to www.internalauditor.org\/scholarships<\/a>. Completed scholarship application forms and essays should be submitted to scholarships@theiia.org<\/a>. The deadline is Jan. 31 for submissions addressing the question, \u201cWhat are some of the issues internal auditors should be aware of regarding the use of AI in business?\u201d<\/p>\n
