- Our sincere congratulations and wholehearted thanks. Your presentation today at the QUT Business Leaders' Forum was a huge success. The unsolicited feedback has been of the highest level. A number of people in the audience said to me that this was the best Forum event ever. Your insights, candour and humour were deeply appreciated.
Queensland University of Technology - Ms. Nicholls' presentation at the 67th Annual Conference of the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) at George Moscone Conference Center in San Francisco was very well received. She was pleasant and professional throughout. We look forward to working with her to convert the speech into another IIA occasional paper due to the many requests for copies.
