  • Trust Is the Currency: How Internal Audit Proves Its Value in Fast-Moving Organizations

    Trust Is the Currency: How Internal Audit Proves Its Value in Fast-Moving Organizations
    Feb 24 2026
    The Institute of Internal Auditors Presents: All Things Internal Audit In this episode, Scott Madenburg and Sanjay Vadlamani talk trust; and why it's the defining currency of internal audit. From hyper-growth environments to large, mature organizations, they discuss how audit teams can build credibility, and deliver value without slowing the business down. Through real-world use cases; including AI-assisted code reviews, ERP implementations, and building an internal audit function from scratch, they share practical examples of how trust enables earlier insights, stronger controls, and a true seat at the table.

  • Supply Chain Risk: From Operational Disruptions to Strategic Business Risk

    Supply Chain Risk: From Operational Disruptions to Strategic Business Risk
    Feb 17 2026
    The Institute of Internal Auditors Presents: All Things Internal Audit In this episode, Adam Ross is joined by Filipe Ribeiro and Julien Perreault to discuss how supply chain risk has evolved into an interconnected, enterprisewide challenge. They discuss where organizations underestimate exposure, how risks quietly accumulate across the value chain, and why internal audit is uniquely positioned to identify blind spots before disruptions escalate. The conversation spans real-world examples from agriculture and highly regulated industries, third-party risk, continuous monitoring, and the growing impact of automation and AI on supply chains.

    All Things Internal Audit: Fraud Podcast
    "The Fall of the Trusted Leader"

    Listen to The IIA's Fraud Podcast, brought to you by All Things Internal Audit. The Fraud Podcast provides fictionalized accounts of real-world frauds featured in Internal Auditor magazine's Fraud department.

    In this episode, a small-town bank built on trust begins to unravel when a persistent internal auditor notices patterns that don't quite add up. What starts as a routine review of commercial lending reveals missing records, suspicious payment activity, and mounting resistance from leadership. As regulators step in, the true scope of the scheme comes into focus, exposing how unchecked authority and weakened controls can bring down even the most trusted institutions.
