IIA NZ Board

Shaun Dowers, CIA

My name is Shaun Dowers. I’ve been serving on the board for over eight years initially through co-option and then serving an elected 2+2 year term. Subsequently, I have served as a Board-Treasurer appointed annually as a co-opted Board member.

I am a Chartered Accountant, Certified Internal Auditor, and have almost 20 years experience in external and Internal Auditing. I’ve been leading an Internal Audit team/function now for over 9 years. I also volunteer on a local sports club committee, and a national sports Board.

I am very passionate about our Internal Audit profession, and I’ve been honoured and happy to serve our membership through ongoing Board terms. Our membership has grown steadily throughout my time on the Board, and I’m grateful for our membership loyalty.

As a Board member, I’ll continue to challenge and reflect on membership value and advocating our awesome profession. I’ll bring knowledge, history and some continuity to help inform and guide our new office team and governance Board.
