Data, speed, and controls: The role of Internal Audit

Hosts: Guest:

Sarah Fedele, principal, and Sandy Pundmann, partner, Deloitte Risk & Financial Advisory

Rob King, CVP and chief audit executive at FedEx

Sarah Fedele: Welcome to Resilient and our Chief Audit Executive podcast track. I'm Sarah Fedele, and I lead US Internal Audit at Deloitte, a role previously held by my colleague, Sandy Pundmann.

In the current age of digitalization, the role of internal audit is rapidly evolving and is as important as ever, perhaps even more so. How can internal auditors approach their work with a focus on delivering insights and foresights to their stakeholders? What more can they do to innovate with new technologies as they deliver assurance and risk assessments? How can they harness

data to accelerate both insights and automation?

In this episode, Sandy interviews Rob King, CVP and chief audit executive at FedEx, on the people, technology, and automation to deliver value for the business.

Rob King: The data that's available is massive, but how do we use that data to be insightful? How do we use that data to provide foresights? So we've got to teach those skills, make sure we bring those skills on.

Sarah: Rob's perspective around the evolution of internal audit in light of innovation is one of many stories I will be sharing over the next few months. Share your favorite takeaway by sending me a LinkedIn message at Sarah Fedele--spelled F-E-D-E-L-E.
