Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 285: How MIT Leaders Are Building AI That Works w/ Michelle Jackson and Edgar Berrio (MIT)
Q: So Michelle, do you have a favorite prompt, personal or professional, you could share with the audience?
Professionally, I like prompts that polish messages, and I enjoy when AI returns polished text, especially in languages like Polish. Personally, we used AI to plan a house project—like shrink wrapping around the house—without burning it down, which shows how prompts guide practical tasks.
Ep 284: Inside Audit, AI, and What Actually Works w/ Andrew Struthers-Kennedy
Q: What is the future of audit in one sentence?
The future of audit has to be actual value add, delivering tangible outcomes.
Ep 282: Why Culture, Not Tech, Drives Audit Innovation w/ Andrew Struthers-Kennedy and Arpit Shah (Audit Innovator Award)
Q: What does DTCC's approach to innovation look like, and how does a junior team member contribute to winning ideas?
DTCC emphasizes a tone-at-the-top culture, rapid experimentation, and inclusive ideation where ideas from junior staff are encouraged and quickly evaluated by leadership, leading to fast prototyping and scalable deployments; a notable example is an Audit Ally Spotlight concept that progressed from a junior idea to a leadership-supported mock-up and rollout.
Ep 282: Why Culture, Not Tech, Drives Audit Innovation w/ Andrew Struthers-Kennedy and Arpit Shah (Audit Innovator Award)
Q: What is the process behind the Audit Innovator Award and how can teams apply next year?
The process involves multi-year review with a rigorous judging framework, multiple categories (enabling technology, strategy and transformation, and people and culture), and a Trailblazer recognition that honors sustained, cross-category impact. Applicants submit innovative projects, which are evaluated by a panel and winners are celebrated at GAM; interested teams should register on the program website and sign up for updates.
Ep 281: Bridging the Gap Between Tax and Internal Audit w/ Michelle V. (ITT Inc.)
Q: Why is the effective tax rate disclosure changing now, and how should internal auditors frame this in their risk assessment?
The new rules demand granular, jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction tax data and a clearer picture of data lineage; internal auditors should map data sources, verify ERP changes, and consider how investor relations and tax interact in the footnote, integrating this into the audit plan as a top risk.
