You may access it via the UAB Libraries page at the following URL: https://uab.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=buh&jid=IAU&site=ehost-liveLinks to an external site. . Peruse through the last few issues (organized by year, on the right) to identify topics of interest to you. So long as the topic deals (broadly) with governance, risk or controls/compliance, I am fine. I am more interested in you identifying a topic that (a) you are interested in and (b) you see potential for affecting the profession in the short to medium term.
