Whereas, more than eighteen thousand certified internal auditors have attained certified status through successful completion of the Certified Internal Auditor program; and

Whereas, certified internal auditors are members of a recognized professional group who benefit from greater acceptance in their role as advisor to management; and

Whereas, a Palmetto Chapter member, Dennis Lynn Wade, Director of Audit Services at Colonial Life and Accident Insurance Company, has been commended by the Board of Regents and the Certification Department of the Institute of Internal Auditors as one of twenty-five candidates awarded Honorable Mention for scoring just below the five certificate of excellence winners on the November, 1991, CIA examination; and

Whereas, Michael Gregory Hill, an MBA student at the University of South Carolina, has been recognized by the Palmetto Chapter after being notified by the Board of Regents that he is the recipient of the Student Highest Achievement Award on the November, 1991, CIA examination; and

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, would like to publicly recognize and congratulate the Institute of Internal Auditors and its many thousands of members upon the occasion of Certified Internal Auditor Month. The members of the General Assembly further would like to recognize and congratulate the Palmetto Chapter of the Institute, its fine members, and especially those three outstanding individuals referenced above who represent professionalism to the highest degree in the field of internal auditing; and

Whereas, the General Assembly, by this resolution, also requests the Governor to proclaim the month of February in South Carolina as "Certified Internal Auditor Month." Now, therefore,
