Inside the Auditorium Podcast: Fortune Chigwende [Episode 1]

by Hazel Rowe

In the inaugural episode of the ‘Inside the Auditorium’ podcast, the often-underestimated role of internal auditors takes centre stage.

I’m joined by Fortune Chigwende, a career auditor who has worked in senior roles, managing audit teams within investment managers. In this episode, Fortune sheds light on a skill set that distinguishes internal auditors in the corporate landscape, challenging preconceptions and underscoring their pivotal role in shaping strategic business decisions.

This episode explores:

Digital Risk Management for Auditors: Fortune explores digitisation and IT risks in internal audit, focusing on cyberspace and AI. Learn how auditors can lead in managing these risks for resilient organisations amid technological advancements.
Unlocking Internal Auditors' Strategic Value: Discover the underestimated value of internal auditors and their strategic role. Gain a unique perspective on their indispensable role in shaping businesses.
Promoting Audit Team Mobility: Fortune stresses the importance of mobility in internal audits, enhancing audit value through diverse skill sets. Learn why encouraging mobility drives success for audit professionals.

A must-listen for all internal audit professionals looking to stay ahead in the ever-evolving landscape of risks and opportunities.
