Bill Taylor receives Lifetime Achievement Award
from The Institute of Internal Auditors

In honor of his outstanding contributions to the internal audit profession, William “Bill” Taylor, CPA, CGFM, was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) at its 2008 International Conference. The Lifetime Achievement Award is given to an IIA member who has shown extraordinary leadership and dedication over a lifetime of service to The IIA, and has had a major impact on the development of internal auditing.

“I am honored to recognize Bill, who has devoted his life to this profession and The IIA,” said IIA Chairman of the Board Gerald D. Cox, CIA, MIIA. “He has been truly selfless in his time and is considered by many at The IIA to be a friend. I cannot think of anyone more willing to serve The IIA when asked – and no one more deserving of this award.”

Taylor has been a member of The IIA for 26 years, serving at both the local and international levels. With IIA-Washington, D.C., Taylor served three terms as chapter president and several years on the chapter’s Board of Governors. Taylor currently sits on multiple national and international IIA taskforces and committees. His previous roles at the international level include chairman of the board of the global IIA, and chairman of several high-profile initiatives such as The IIA’s international conference, The IIA’s International Relations Committee, and The IIA’s global Common Body of Knowledge research study on the practice of internal auditing. He is currently a member of The IIA’s Research Foundation Board of Trustees.

In 1994, IIA-Washington, D.C. presented Taylor with the Distinguished Service Award. He has also been recipient of two IIA global awards – the Bradford Cadmus Memorial Award and Exceptional Volunteer Citation. Taylor retired from the Inter-American Development Bank in Washington, D.C. in 2004 after a 41-year career in internal auditing.

The IIA is internationally recognized as a trustworthy guidance-setting body. Serving members in 165 countries, The IIA is the internal audit profession's global voice, chief advocate, recognized authority, acknowledged leader, and principal educator.
