Ep 94: How to build an audit department from the ground up w/ Josh Hultgren

This week Josh Hultgren, VP of Internal Audit at APi Group, joins the show.

On his episode, we discussed why most internal auditors lack soft skills, how CAEs can change their mindset from an auditor to an executive, and how weekly excel challenges can bolster the team's capabilities.
