Embracing Internal Audit Evolution: A Conversation with Michael Drechnowicz, Head of Internal Audit at TK Elevator
In this episode, Michael shares his insights on the evolution of IA in his role as Head of Internal Audit with a major player in the global elevator and escalator industry.
His work demonstrates a shift from traditional finance-focus towards extensive business process coverage, ranging from sales to purchasing and fraud investigations.
We discuss the increasing importance of diversity in global audit teams and how technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data analytics, are transforming internal audit processes.
The conversation further touches on AI's importance in identifying and managing risks, improving process efficiency, and augmenting the learning experiences of junior auditors.
Looking ahead, Michael sees a promising and dynamic future for internal auditors amidst rapid digital transformation.

This episode is a pre-recorded interview with Benji Block for the Author Hour podcast. We discuss our new book, The Data-Confident Internal Auditor.
For internal auditors, developing trends in data analysis and data science can feel less like a wealth of information and more like an avalanche. Still, better use of data provides an opportunity to advance your career by adopting new invaluable skills.
The missing link: jargon-free guidance that cuts through the hype. The Data-Confident Internal Auditor demystifies the use of data in internal audits through practical step-by-step guidance. With concepts and tools that are easy to understand and apply, this comprehensive guide shows you how to approach data yourself without having to wait on a data scientist or a technical expert.
Developed over the course of hundreds of actual audits, these real-world approaches and practices are distilled into a simple sequence of steps that will leave you feeling confident and even eager to apply them for yourself.
