Agile Auditing Doesn't Mean Faster with Toby De...
<p>We've been talking about agile auditing for years, so why are a few succeeding and others are reluctant to embrace it or failing in their implementation? </p> <p>Agile doesn't mean faster, and it doesn't apply to just one part of the audit process. It is a paradigm shift and one of the most important changes to #internalaudit in many years.</p> <p>I am talking with Toby DeRoche, who has spent the last several years understanding exactly how to apply the principles of agile into the whole audit process in a practical way. What works, what doesn't, what organizations are really doing that are successful, and is here to share so you can make the shift to agile auditing and avoid the painful learning curve.</p> <p>Listen in at: <a href='http://www.jasonmefford.com/jammingwithjason/'>http://www.jasonmefford.com/jammingwithjason/</a></p> <p>When you are ready for the step-by-step "how to" for agile auditing, learn more about the Certified Agile Auditor Professional (cAAP) course mentioned during this episode at: <a href='https://ondemand.criskacademy.com/p/caap/?affcode=105582_jpp6czlf/'>https://ondemand.criskacademy.com/p/caap/?affcode=105582_jpp6czlf/</a></p>

E122 Corporate and Individual Integrity with Jo...
<p>In today's episode we discuss with John Fanning (V.P. of Business Development with Integrity Risk International) how important ethics are in today's businesses. Many companies treat ethics as a checklist and don't seem to actively promote a positive ethical culture within their organization. </p> <p>Integrity is an important trait not only personally, but on a corporate level as well. Businesses with integrity will make positive changes when problems are found. </p> <p>In order to foster a positive culture within our organizations we need to stand by what we say even if short term gains may seem to suffer, because long term gains will greatly benefit. </p> <p>Listen in at: <a href='http://www.jasonmefford.com/jammingwithjason/'>http://www.jasonmefford.com/jammingwithjason/</a></p>

Your Title Doesn't Make You a Leader
<p>Have you ever worked for a horrible boss? If you are like most people, a couple of faces just popped into your mind.</p> <p>We've all worked with horrible bosses who didn't use Intuitive Leadership, Neural Influence, or Mental Mastery ... and it's HARD to be a leader without them, and painful for the people you work with if you don't.</p> <p>I'm talking about #leadership in this #jammingwithjason episode.

<p>Does the way you communicate affect whether others trust you?  Much, much more than you realize. In this #jammingwithjason episode I speak with Ann Butera about how to make changes in the way we communicate so we are exhibiting all three behaviors of trust.</p> <p>You'll be amazed at how some little things we do every day aren't communicated to others the way we expected and are actually eroding trust, making it much more difficult for us in our work. No matter how good you think you communicate, we can all do better by incorporating Ann's wisdom.</p> <p>Imagine how much easier your life will be when you learn how to say anything to anybody.</p> <p>#internalaudit #communication </p>

Best Of: RESPECT for Internal Audit
<p>I hear some Chief Audit Executives complaining they "don't get no respect" like a Rodney Dangerfield comedy skit. When Dangerfield said it, it was funny. Not so if you find your self saying that in real life.</p> <p>In this week's #jammingwithjason #internalauditpodcast I discuss RESPECT for internal audit. You see, respect is a two way street. There are some things we need to do as individuals and as a profession to get the respect we want. I dig into some questions to ask yourself and practical steps you can start taking today.</p> <p>And ... an episode about RESPECT wouldn't be complete unless I sang a little Aretha Franklin, and told a few Rodney Dangerfield jokes too.</p> <p>Please share this episode with your friends and colleagues.</p> <p>If you are a CAE, book your call to join a community of like-minded CAEs in the CAE Forum. When you join the CAE Forum you will get much more clarity on exactly how you can get the RESPECT you deserve and elevate the status of internal audit in your organization. <a href='https://jasonmefford.mykajabi.com/caeforum'>https://jasonmefford.mykajabi.com/caeforum</a></p>

<p>In this week's episode I speak with Steve Goepfert about lessons he learned from being a CAE. We discuss various topics including the difference between being a Chief Auditor, and being a Chief Audit Executive; what it really takes to be a CAE; how to provide those moments of head snap (you'll have to listen to learn more); how to prove and communicate the value internal audit provides; and not getting so engrained in the mechanics that we don't focus on the big picture.</p> <p>Steve Goepfert was the Vice President - Internal Audit (Chief Auditor) for United Airlines in Chicago, Illinois. He assumed the role after the merger of United and Continental. He had previously been Chief Auditor at Continental Airlines for 21 years.</p> <p>He was the 2006-2007 Chairman of the Board for the Institute of Internal Auditors, Inc. (IIA). At the Global level, Steve served on the IIA's Executive Committee for 6 years (2003-09) and on the IIA Board for 7 years. He previously served as Senior Vice Chairman and Vice Chairman – Professional Services and is a past President of the Houston Chapter (1999-2000), and served on its Board for 17 years. In 2012, Steve was inducted into the inaugural class of the IIA's American Hall of Distinguished Audit Practitioners. He was recognized in 2013 with the Victor Brink award for distinguished service to the IIA.</p> <p>He is now enjoying retirement in Tennessee. I am very grateful to have one of the legends in the internal audit profession on the show.</p>

Flashback Friday: Risk-Based Internal Auditing
<p>Even though we have been using the term "risk-based auditing" for over 20 years, many internal audit groups have not really implemented it... and many misunderstand the concepts behind it.</p> <p>In this episode I explain the challenges and opportunities facing internal audit as a profession and why moving to a truly risk-based approach is the opportunity for us to overcome those challenges. I also discuss the confusion with the terms objective-based, or risk management-based audit.</p> <p>I've been preaching risk-based internal auditing for over 15 years and am considered to be one of the leading world experts on risk-based internal audit (and yes I wrote a book on this, frameworks, certifications and have trained internal auditors all over the world). </p> <p>If you missed the webinar on Establishing or Improving a Risk-Based Audit Approach, you can now access it in the cRisk Academy on-demand library at: <a href='https://ondemand.criskacademy.com/p/establishing-or-improving-a-risk-based-audit-approach/'>https://ondemand.criskacademy.com/p/establishing-or-improving-a-risk-based-audit-approach/</a></p> <p>To learn more about how you can enroll in a new course and receive your Certified Risk-Based Internal Auditor (cRBIA) professional designation visit: <a href='https://ondemand.criskacademy.com/p/certified-risk-based-internal-auditor-crbia/'>https://ondemand.criskacademy.com/p/certified-risk-based-internal-auditor-crbia/</a></p> <p> </p>

If you don't already know Hal, you should.</p> <p>For many years #internalaudit has been losing its relevance in some organizations, and if you were having trouble with your relevance before, after what we've experienced in early 2020, your job just got harder. But fear not, in this episode we discuss what you can do to become more relevant.</p> <p>Since 80% of challenges stem from relationship issues, it's also fitting that we discuss relationships. If you want a seat at the table you have to earn it, and keep it. The way you do that is by showing your relevance and developing relationships.</p> <p>As I mention at the end of the episode, if you are a #ChiefAuditExecutive and struggling with either of these, please reach out to me.
