As we kick off Internal Audit Month- May 2026, the Springfield IIA Chapter is proud to highlight professional voices that reflect the value of internal audit.
During a recent panel discussion, Charla V. Bond-Jones, MAFM, shared her experience when asked:
What does internal audit really do?
Her response captured the value of our profession:
"Internal audit isn't just about reviewing — it's about opening doors, strengthening governance, and helping organizations make better decisions. Throughout my journey, internal audit has opened many doors — opportunities to lead, collaborate, mentor, and serve as a trusted advisor. I've seen firsthand how internal auditors drive value, support risk management, and improve performance across organizations."

Throughout this month, we will continue sharing voices from across our profession to showcase the real-world impact of internal audit and encourage engagement across our community.
