Auditors conference

By Our Special Correspondent

CHENNAI, JAN. 8. The Institute of Internal Auditors of India through its Chennai Chapter will host the 25th all India Conference on Internal Audit. It will be held at Taj Coromandel, Chennai, on January 19-20. The institute expects around 250-300 delegates from all over India.

Mr. N. Vittal, Chief Vigilance Commissioner, will deliver the inaugural address while Mr. Jean-Pierre Garitte, former Chairman of IIA International Board and now Ambassador, KPMG Management Assurance Services at Brussels, Belgium, will participate in the conference and deliver a special keynote address on the conference theme ``Building Bridges in a Borderless World.''

Considering the current focus on information technology, the conference's theme ``Building bridges in a borderless world'' is appropriate. It recognises the fact the today's internal auditors have to re-orient themselves to the emerging technologies in whatever industry or enterprise segment they may be engaged in. The interface between the auditor and the organization provides new challenges and opportunities.

Some of the eminent speakers include Mr. S. Mahalingam, Vice President, Tata Consultancy Services Ltd., Chennai, Mr. A. Ramakrishna, Joint Managing Director, Larsen & Toubro, Mumbai, and Mr. Narayana Seshadri, Country Head, Arthur Anderson, Mumbai.
