Bill shares his perspective on bringing discipline, structure, and consistency to audits by applying Lean and Six Sigma principles to the audit process. Drawing on his experience working with hundreds of audit teams across large public accounting firms, he explains why audits should be treated as standard work and how reducing variation in execution can dramatically improve outcomes for both auditors and clients. We talk about innovative audit methods, real-world client success stories, and why managing audits with urgency and control matters more than relying on theory or hoping things come together. Bill also walks through key ideas from his book, Managing the Hell Out of Your Audit , including the importance of upfront coaching and certifying staff before work begins to reduce rework, review notes, and frustration across audit teams Be sure to connect with Bill on LinkedIn.
