Ep 246: Retired CAE Summer Series – Part 4 w/ Kevin Ryan

This week on The Audit Podcast, we're continuing our Retired CAE Summer Series with Kevin Ryan, former Chief Risk Review Officer and General Auditor at KeyBank, where he spent 38 years—15 of those in audit leadership.

In this episode, Kevin reflects on the importance of relationships and shares how he was able to gain the ear of the CEO, something many auditors strive for.

He also offers a personal story that would serve as a lesson in office politics, and answers the question: if his audit career were a book, what would the first and last chapters be about?

Be sure to connect with Kevin on LinkedIn.

Also, be sure to follow us on our social media accounts on LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok.

Also be sure to sign up for The Audit Podcast newsletter and to check the full video interview on The Audit Podcast YouTube channel.
