Auditors and controllers definitely don’t enjoy a good reputation! 😊

But what does the job really entail? Are auditors really that scary?

Today we talk about it with my friend Olivia Verhulst who has been an auditor for a long time!
Auditing and control need not be a threatening device! They are just a tool to support businesses across they are activities with the help of meaningful procedures. They are also intellectually very engaging as rules and procedure are a way to model reality and help manage the day-to-day.

Despite the prejudice auditors can indeed be very caring! Olivia has moved from auditing & control to mentoring professional women. She wants to send the elevator back, to build a network of support and address issues such impostor syndrome which, to her experience, make women’s life unnecessarily hard.

And now, it is time for her next step: to build a consulting business in the field of risk and control to make sure business have a coping strategy if things get rough. Good luck Olivia and thanks for joining us today!
