Ep 19: The White Gloves of Audit Leadership with Karina Misko

Episode 19: Karina Misko

The White Gloves of Audit Leadership

In this episode of Inspiring Women in Audit, I speak with Karina Misko, Head of Audit in Riga and a driving force in shaping the future of internal audit in Latvia. Karina’s story is one of bold leadership, deep community impact, and unwavering commitment to empowering others in the profession.

Karina shares how she stepped into leadership early and what it means to balance the many hats required of a modern Head of Audit. We talk about her “white gloves” approach to working with stakeholders, how she navigates conflicts with diplomacy, and the pride she takes in building a small but mighty audit team. She also opens up about leading Latvia’s audit community, why she sees mentoring as a responsibility, and how her unique leadership style inspires auditors for generations to come.

At its core, this conversation is about influence, service, and the kind of leadership that elevates not just one organization but an entire profession. Karina’s journey is filled with insights for anyone aspiring to lead with authenticity, courage, and vision.
