Level 1 – Basic Membership

We don’t charge you for a basic membership.

With the basic membership, you can read “the book” online. You can read and participate in the forums. You can join discussion groups to interact with your peers.

That’s pretty much everything that you need.

Level 2 – Extended Membership

We charge a fee for Extended Membership.

As an Extended Member, we give you access to our Workbooks and other things (as we create them) that help you work through the activities and find your essential.

Extended Members are less about “knowing” the essential path and more about “walking” the essential path.

We charge a fee because we want you to be committed to the process.

Level 3 – Impact Membership

As an Impact Member, you have the ability to take on a leadership role in the forum discussions. You can also write articles (which we will post here) in support (or to challenge) the Essential Auditor path.

Becoming an Impact Member demonstrates your commitment to leading and shaping the internal audit profession. You’re in it to help build the professional brand and support all the auditors who are trying to learn and grow within the profession.

And … here are the rules

Remember that our goal is to help each other. That means we build each other up, not tear each other down. So be nice. Sure, you can respectfully disagree and offer alternative ways of approaching a topic. That, after all, is what auditors do. But if you do it in a way that’s not adding value … well … you’re not welcome here. That’s how it works in the real world.

Don’t go trying to sell your products or services. If you’re interested in marketing to our members, that’s wonderful. But you can’t do it here. We’re about selling ideas. And we don’t charge for it.
