For an Internal Auditor, bad times at the company can be the best work experiences. When I concluded my investigation on allegations that included accounting fraud, I knew I was in for some very dark days. Great training for an Internal Auditor that I’m hoping I can pass on to you (sans the high blood pressure).
I took what I thought was the best possible job as an internal auditor with a resort company. Within 45 days of starting, I received a whistleblower complaint alleging, among other things, accounting/tax fraud. The subsequent year and a half were the hardest days of my work life.
In this podcast series (four parts), I’m telling my story. This is the first in series when I describe my start at the company and the whistleblower complaint that set this whole thing in motion.
