Corporate Governance Starts Before Any Consultant Arrives with Evan Tsai
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What does your grandmother have to do with corporate governance? More than you might think.
In this episode, Kelly Paxton sits down with Evan Tsai, an auditor, compliance veteran, and newly minted founder of Phoenix Ascent, for a conversation that travels from the fraud pandemic in Taiwan, to a book theft at an auditors' conference, to why governance starts long before any consultant walks through the door.
After 20 years in audit, risk, and compliance, Evan kept seeing the same movie play out: companies chasing big, shiny tools without first understanding their own processes, people, or data. That pattern and a deep respect for governance instilled by his grandparents in Taiwan is what drove him to launch Phoenix Ascent and help organizations understand where they actually stand before the regulators come knocking.
Plus: Evan shares why no organization (or auditor) is truly above temptation.
