Ep 248: What Really Matters When Building an Audit Team w/ Mike Padilla (Starbucks)

This week on The Audit Podcast, we're joined by Mike Padilla, Senior Manager of Internal Audit and SOX Leader at Starbucks.

Mike brings a refreshing perspective on the internal audit profession—starting with the idea that we might need to stop taking ourselves so seriously. His insights are especially relevant for those thinking about the future of the profession and how we recruit the next generation of auditors.

In this episode, Mike shares thoughts on how the perception of audit impacts recruiting—particularly among college students—and why it's time to bridge the gap between IT and business process auditors. He also reveals what he believes is the single most important thing in building a strong audit function (and it might surprise you).

Be sure to connect with Mike on LinkedIn.
