Session: The ABCs of QAR 8:00 am – 9:30 am, Friday, March 6, 2020 The Institute of Internal Auditors provides International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing, which help guide the conduct and performance of internal audit professionals. A component of this guidance requires that internal audit functions have an external assessment performed to assess conformance with the Standards every five years. It is easy to get involved in the mechanics of these assessments, “check the box”, and lose sight of the greater opportunity this exercise provides to internal audit professionals. Join us as we explore the considerable benefits of these assessments, lessons learned, leading practices, and tips to make the most of your time and energy as you endeavor along the path of conformance. Session: Gift Acceptance 10:10 am – 11:40 am, Friday March 6, 2020 Join Baker Tilly’s John Kiss and Raina Rose Tagle as they explain the role institution auditors have in relation to donor gifts. As recipients of donor gifts, colleges and universities must strive to uphold the core principles of academic independence along with maintaining quality donor cultivation and stewardship activities. Our presentation will provide first-hand knowledge, helping colleges and universities gain greater insight and visibility into the gift acceptance process, specifically highlighting academic independence considerations. We will share experiences and perspectives on how to add value to an institution through the development of escalation considerations for gift agreements that require additional reviews, standard gift agreement templates and language and gift agreement policy considerations.  Baker Tilly is also sponsoring the Thursday evening reception. Come and enjoy drinks and hor d’oeuves with your industry colleagues, discuss the latest challenges trends in academic auditing and chat about the sessions you enjoyed the most.
