Internal audit network
The Internal Audit Network comprises approximately 1,200 members across the UK, from banking, utilities, health, IT/communications, insurance/investment, local and national government, to manufacturing, industry, engineering and retail. Activities to support its members include:
Events/CPD
The Network presents 8 networking forum events per year in conjunction with the Institute of Internal Auditors – UK and Ireland (IIA). These take place at ACCA's head offices at 29 Lincoln's Inn Fields and take place either early in the morning or late in the afternoon to minimise disruption to the working day.
Attendance at these events is free but, as places are limited, please book in advance using the online booking facility. These events will constitute verifiable Continuing Professional Development (CPD) if the content is relevant to an individual's personal development plan.
For more information on ACCA Realise visit the CPD & careers - ACCA Realise page.
ACCA UK also organises an annual internal audit conference. In 2008, this will take place on 11 July.

E-bulletin
An e-bulletin will be published four times per year and e-mailed automatically to Internal Audit Network members. The inaugural e-bulletin was launched in October 2007 and contained news and feature articles on key issues affecting the internal audit sector, as well as the latest news on relevant ACCA activities, publications and events.
Facilities/Services
ACCA UK has negotiated a number of special rates on products and services which benefit its members.For more information visit the Support services pages.
Contacts
The Network is guided by an elected Panel, which works closely with a permanent member of staff at ACCA. One of the roles of the Panel is to assist ACCA in making representations to and influencing regulatory bodies in the sector. We would like to enlist the help of the wider Network in meeting this task. If you feel that you have the expertise to assist in this area and would like to get more involved, please do get in touch.
