Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 290: Prepping for the Board w/ Erin Banet (Humana)
Q: What is the cadence for board and audit committee meetings, and how do you prep for it?
The cadence includes quarterly main meetings with four core committees, along with separate earnings-related sessions. Preparation centers on a yearly agenda with four main meetings, plus ongoing updates and pre-read materials sent two weeks in advance to the committee chair for review and question handling.
Ep 289: The Future of SOX? w/ Casey Atwater (ZoomInfo & Internal Audit Collective)
Q: What practical steps can a SOX leader take tomorrow based on this discussion?
Begin by evaluating where failures historically occurred, partner with control owners to automate those processes, optimize the number of in-scope systems to maximize automation gain, and establish a robust audit trail from system input to final approvals.
Ep 289: The Future of SOX? w/ Casey Atwater (ZoomInfo & Internal Audit Collective)
Q: How do you see the role of management changing in SOX with AI and workflow integration?
Management will own the architecture, build the workflows, and leverage AI to perform controls, while internal audit evolves to oversee the process and ensure independence and objective assurance.
Ep 289: The Future of SOX? w/ Casey Atwater (ZoomInfo & Internal Audit Collective)
Q: What is the genesis of controlbridge.ai and why did you start it?
I started controlbridge.ai to enable management to run SOX controls more effectively by designing an architecture that supports continuous monitoring and intelligent controls, reducing the time auditors spend on routine SOCs and allowing focus on higher-risk areas.
Ep 287: First 100 Days as a CAE w/ Danielle Ritter (GitLab)
Q: How do you decide what goes to the board versus what doesn't?
I rely on a mix of gut judgment and written updates for important items. If something is material, I provide executive summaries and business impact so the audit committee understands the significance without getting bogged down in details.
