Join us for IIA Canada’s 2019 National Conference. This educational journey will be rich with insights for internal auditors at every level and across all industries.

Explore with us existing and emerging tools and methodologies that Internal Auditors need to help their stakeholders meet risk head on. And succeed!

The National Conference offers six engaging tracks that tie in to the overall conference theme:
