Trust Is the Currency: How Internal Audit Proves Its Value in Fast-Moving Organizations

Описание: The Institute of Internal Auditors Presents: All Things Internal Audit 

In this episode, Scott Madenburg and Sanjay Vadlamani talk trust; and why it's the defining currency of internal audit. From hyper-growth environments to large, mature organizations, they discuss how audit teams can build credibility, and deliver value without slowing the business down. Through real-world use cases; including AI-assisted code reviews, ERP implementations, and building an internal audit function from scratch, they share practical examples of how trust enables earlier insights, stronger controls, and a true seat at the table.
