PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Greetings San Jose Members and Friends,

Please join us for our next monthly lunch meeting on Wednesday, April 7th, 2010. We will be joined by Carina
Ruiz, a senior manager in Deloitte & Touche LLP’s Treasury practice. Cash and investments can be a source of
security for an organization but they can also be a source of risk. Market volatility and the speed of onset of
material events can put an organization’s very existence at stake. Come here about the latest risks and what
Internal Audit can do to provide assurance in the areas of counterparty and commodity risks, FX risks and
intercompany netting practices and investment policy risks.

Please register online at http://www.acteva.com/booking.cfm?bevaID=200809 by Monday, April 5th, 2010.
Walk-in registration may be limited by space available so pre-registration is strongly advised.

We also have a variety of upcoming events that you should mark on your calendar:

4. Also on May 5, John will be holding a full day program at the Biltmore, scheduled around our lunch

Prevention, Detection and Handling. Details are available on our web site at www.theiia-sj.org.
