Episode 6: Zofia Bailey, Global Director, Internal Audit

In this episode of Inside the Auditorium Podcast, I chat to Zofia Bailey, Global Director of Internal Audit at EBRD. Zofia shares her journey from the legal field to internal audit and her passion for shaping the future of ESG auditing.

In this episode we explore:

Auditing ESG in a changing landscape: As ESG risk management frameworks continue to evolve, auditors play a pivotal role in shaping and refining methodologies that are still maturing.
Advice for young professionals entering internal audit: Zofia encourages young auditors to embrace diverse perspectives, bring their full selves to work, and celebrate alternative viewpoints.
Adapting to regulatory change in ESG audits: Discover how Zofia’s legal background gives her a unique edge in interpreting rapidly changing regulations and evolving audit methodologies.
Making internal audit attractive for non-audit professionals: Zofia highlights how internal audit can serve as a stepping stone to senior leadership, offering exposure to risk, governance, and control frameworks.
Embracing non-traditional talent in internal audit: Why recruiting individuals from diverse professional backgrounds brings fresh perspectives and technical expertise that strengthen internal audit teams.

If you’re eager to explore how ESG and evolving skill sets that are shaping the future of internal audit, don’t miss this episode.
