Episode description

This week on The Audit Podcast, we’re kicking off our Retired CAE Summer Series with Bob Brewer, former Chief Audit Executive at Las Vegas Sands and former Chief Compliance Officer at Office Depot.

 

With almost two years of retirement under his belt, Bob joins the show to reflect on his career from a fresh perspective. In this episode, he shares what he would do differently if he had the chance to start over, the political lessons he learned as a full-time executive, and the one thing he wishes every auditor would do.

 

We also explore a fun thought experiment: If Bob wrote a book about his career, what would the first and last chapters be about?

 

This series is all about gaining insights from those who have stepped back from the profession—and seeing things with a little more clarity.

 

Be sure to connect with Bob on LinkedIn.

 

Also, be sure to follow us on our new social media accounts on LinkedInInstagram, and TikTok.

 

Also be sure to sign up for The Audit Podcast newsletter and to check the full video interview on The Audit Podcast YouTube channel.
