Professions thrive through advocacy and diversity of thought. The internal audit profession is no different. For the past three years, I have recognized men and women who are making an impact on behalf of internal audit around the world.

I am pleased to announce the 4th annual recognition through my website AuditBeacon.com. Next month AuditBeacon.com will acknowledge global internal thought leaders who have made a significant contribution to advancing the internal audit profession around the world in 2022. Individuals will be recognized for contributions through publishing, video and audio media; speaking; and advocating the value of internal auditing around the world.

Please nominate yourself or a colleague for The Internal Audit Beacon Award by submitting the following information:

• Name of the nominee:
