IGA Annual Convention 2010 will take place November 4th, 2010 in Innsbruck. This year’s theme: "Audit of budget / business management"

Per definitionem …
the audit of budget / business management is a holistic check of a cooperative in order to evaluate if the cooperative management is carried out adequately as to the realisation of aims of the cooperative business activity.

Differences in the concrete application …
are seen in the fact that law gives specification but no instruction regarding the procedure.

In the course of the this year’s symposium the International Research Institute for the Cooperative System in the Alps (IGA) wants
• to present and discuss with experts the results of a extensive basic research initiated by the IGA
• and to perform the „priming“ for further concretion in the audit praxis.

Accepted audit experts and representatives of the science will give impulses to several aspects of this item and ask for discussion.

The one-day conference is addressed to leaders and specialists of cooperative unions and audit institutions as well as to representatives of the science. If you are interested, please note down the date 4th of November (beginning at 9.30 a.m.) already now. You will receive detailed information and application forms by the end of September.

We are looking forward to your participation!


Mag. Arnulf Perkounigg
Chairman of the association IGA
