Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Governing AI at Speed: Policies, Processes & People
Q: What are the core components of AI governance?
The core components are the three P's: policies define how AI should be used and any legal or ethical guardrails; processes detail how you monitor, test, validate, and approve AI deployments; and people establish the human oversight, accountability, and final arbiter role in governance.
A career in public-sector internal audit
Q: What do you hope the internal audit profession will achieve in the next five years?
Auditors should leverage the new standards to reassess and maximize impact within their organizations, using governance discussions with leadership to drive proactive improvements and address emerging risks like AI.
A career in public-sector internal audit
Q: Can you describe the process and significance of updating the global internal audit standards?
It was a four-year, collaborative effort involving 21 board members from around the world to structure the standards for usability, with explicit recognition of public-sector differences and a dedicated implementation section for the public sector.
A career in public-sector internal audit
Q: What is the most rewarding aspect of public service for you and your team?
The rewards are not monetary; it's the sense of purpose and the impact on advancing the organization's mission, especially in higher education and public healthcare, which motivates long-term commitment.
America's debt crossroads: Fiscal risk and national security
Q: 3) From your GAO perspective, what concrete steps can auditors and the public sector take to provide foresight on fiscal policy and debt?
Develop a comprehensive, integrated strategic plan focused on foresight—continuing audits, policy analysis, and trend monitoring across agencies; push for outcome-based measurement and a consolidated audit of the US government's financial statements to guide long-term decision-making and increase accountability.
