A leisure highlight of the conference was joining international internal audit leader colleagues from India, Oman, Qatar and Sri Lanka at an India Premier League (IPL) cricket match between New Delhi and Calcutta. The IPL is being held in Johannesburg because the 4 week India election process has drawn away needed security resources normally assisting with the cricket match. It was a great experience including much in the way of "Americanized" type viewing entertainment; fireworks, cheerleaders, flags and shirts, etc.
We even saw the makings of a small security "skirmish" with a few rowdy fans right near us in a sea of 30,000 being viewed by millions in India!
Topping it off was the quality time spent with internal audit leaders from the other side of the world, enjoying the game and dinner together. Really getting to know more about each other, our families, and ofcourse our audit experiences and views regarding the future direction of the profession. Clearly this was a great bonus experience.
