Is Internal Audit Too Focused on Compliance and Not Enough on Business Strategy

Is your audit department too focused on compliance and missing out on business strategy? In Episode 72 of Audit Bites, host Rob Berry examines why internal auditors often find themselves trapped in the world of checklists and regulatory paperwork—while overlooking opportunities to truly impact business growth.

Drawing from three decades of experience, Rob Berry shares real-life stories and actionable strategies auditors can use to break free from the “compliance bubble.” Learn the crucial difference between being a compliance cop and a strategic advisor, why business acumen is key, and how your team can add tangible value to the organization.

Key topics covered:

  1. Why compliance is comfortable but business strategy is riskier
  2. Moving from rule enforcer to valued business partner
  3. How asking “why” leads to better audit outcomes
  4. The importance of business acumen for auditors
  5. How reframing audit findings can foster real improvements

You’ll also hear insights on balancing compliance with strategic input, involving internal audit in decision-making, and ways to measure audit success beyond just findings. Plus, Rob Berry introduces Audit Leverage, his new AI-powered tool for internal auditors, and answers listener questions about audit reporting and stakeholder value.
