Performance Audit Mindset at For-Profit Organizations with Jon Taber

Field: Auditing | Delivery Method: Self Study | CPE Hours: 0.5

Is it more valuable to provide assurance on the effectiveness of controls, or provide insights on how to help your organization become more efficient?


Internal audit spends most of their time auditing controls without ever asking the right questions about whether the controls are even necessary, make the organization more efficient, and support the organization's strategy.

In this special Audit Discussion, I speak with Jon Taber an Internal Audit Manager at Casey's the third largest convenience store chain in the USA, and the host of the AUDIT 15 FUN podcast.

Jon and his team are experimenting with taking a performance audit mindset (often used by public sector auditors) and applying the mindset to how they audit at Casey's, specifically focusing on supporting the organization's strategic objective of being more efficient. Learn what they are doing and if it may also be relevant for your organization.

And, as always on an Audit Discussion, there are many other points we address during our conversation.
