A must listen for any considering being an Internal Ausitor

Good content. If this podcast doesn’t convince you to forgo entering or leave internal audit, I don’t know what will.I’m an internal auditor trying to get out and this podcast has solidly reinforced my decision. Just listen to episode 137. If that doesn’t make you run away then bless your heart.

Refreshing perspectives on audit

Valuable and one of a kind podcast! Really enjoyed listening to it.
_Compton

Hidden Gem

This podcast has substance and provides actual examples rather than theory or hype. Rare to find more than veiled advertising of tools and “what can be done” discussion within industry podcasts. Glad to have found something with more teeth. There is an audit audience for this podcast. Please keep it up.
