Who’s ready to RETHINK Internal Audit? Then join Jo and the IIA Nashville Chapter on April 20th!

Here is the Keynote program Jo will be doing from  – Rethinking Internal Audit: 

When is a frog likely to survive – when it is put directly in boiling water or brought to a boil slowly? I bet I know what you’ve been taught, but I am here to tell you it is time to “unlearn” and “rethink” your original answer. And it is also time for us to “unlearn” and “rethink” our roles as Internal Auditors!

• Are you stuck in the traditional audit or compliance mindset that “finding” problems is your main role?
• Are you performing the same audits year after year because “that’s how we’ve always done it?”
• Are you asking uniform, expected audit questions or are asking critical questions about ethics and culture?
• Do audits sometimes feel like battles with your audit clients instead of a collaboration on improving the organization?

If you said yes to ANY of these questions, it’s time for some rethinking of how you go to work!

Learning objectives: 

• Engage others with humility, curiosity, and problem-solving
• Unleash the power of gathering information (including ethics and culture information!)
• Approach disagreements as dances, not battles
