Urton Anderson Awarded IIA           Cadmus Memorial Award

Urton Anderson, accounting professor and associate dean of undergraduate programs at the McCombs School, was awarded the Institute of Internal Auditors’ (IIA) Cadmus Memorial Award during the IIA’s 2006 international conference, held June 19-21 in Houston.

Initiated in 1965, the award recognizes internal audit practitioners for research, academic involvement, article and book publication, and other thought-leading pursuits.

Anderson is considered by many as one of the most knowledgeable practitioners in the world on contemporary internal audit issues and trends, and he has authored a variety of leading internal audit texts and professional journal articles.

“The IIA and the internal audit profession is privileged to have such progressive-thinking pioneers moving us forward,” said IIA President David A. Richards in a press release. Established in 1941, the IIA has more than 122,000 members worldwide and serves as the internal audit profession’s global voice and recognized authority.
