Built by auditors, powered by purpose
Q: April, how does Optro balance cutting-edge innovation with practical, grounded conversations for auditors who may be skeptical of buzzwords?
We anchor every innovation discussion in outcomes, practical best practices, and measurable value, using customer input and real-world use cases to translate technology into tangible improvements in efficiency and risk management.
From GE Audit to AI
Q: How does having a practitioner background change the way you approach customers and enable their success?

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.
