敬致各位會員：

IIA總裁Richard F. Chambers代表IIA 總會來函恭禧「台灣內部稽核協會」榮獲2020年內部稽核宣導數位獎章，往年IIA「內部稽核宣導」活動均於5月進行，今年因受Covid-19疫情影響延後舉辦，本會很榮幸獲此獎章，在此與會員朋友分享。

茲將IIA總會來函重點摘譯如下，主要是感謝「台灣內部稽核協會」，雖然正值疫情蔓延、充滿挑戰的2020 年，仍致力於宣導及提升內部稽核專業。

內部稽核一直以來均扮演著至關重要的角色，特別在此危機之際，過去的幾個月來，我們已遭逢人生中有別於過往的經驗。儘管面臨前所未有的挑戰，我們還是勇往直前，致力於宣導內部稽核可為利害關係人帶來的價值。透過世界各會員國的共同努力，提升內部稽核人員形象，讓人們了解內部稽核為組織可獲成功的關鍵之鑰。

IIA總會隨函附上的數位獎章，係用以表彰台灣內部稽核協會對專業的承諾。此獎章經過了重新設計，以反映2020年確實是“迎接挑戰”的年度，而我們做到了！

再次感謝大家每日為提升專業所做出的卓越貢獻。

 

Greetings and Congratulations！

 

It gives me great pleasure to present, on behalf of The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), the 2020 Building Awareness Champion award to IIA-Chinese Taiwan. This award is given annually by The IIA to show appreciation for the exceptional commitment made to promoting the internal audit profession during International Internal Audit Awareness Month, normally celebrated each May. This year, the usual deadline and formal recognition were postponed as priorities shifted to dealing with the devastating impacts of COVID-19.

 

Internal audit plays a vital role at all times, but especially during times of crisis. And the past months have been unlike anything experienced in our lifetimes. Despite unprecedented challenges, you pushed ahead with courage and determination in May and the months since to help build awareness of the value that internal audit brings to stakeholders. It is through the collective efforts of affiliates and chapters around the world that we raise the profile of internal auditors as key to the success of their organizations. Thank you for everything you did to demonstrate the truth and timeliness of that message.

 

Please accept the attached digital award as a sign of your professional commitment. The award was redesigned to reflect that 2020 was indeed a time of "Rising to the Challenge." And you did it! I hope that you will display the ribbon proudly on your website.

 

Once again, thank you for the excellent work you are doing to elevate the profession each and every day.

 

Best regards,

 

Richard F. Ch am b er s, CI A, QIAL, CGAP , CCS A, CRMA President and Chief Executive Officer
