Albie meets with Katlijn Haesebrouck from Maastricht University to discuss her career, which focuses on the human element within an organisation. Why do people choose to work where they do? What drives their decisions and actions on the job? Is it mostly money or are there also other factors at play?

Albie chats with Pat McLay, registered company auditor and member of both the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland as well as CAANZ. Currently, Pat is a partner at EY based in Melbourne. Pat has championed the UoM Honours Internship Program and is currently spending some time with us as part of the Executive-in-Residence Program. Albie and Pat discuss Pat's career, his advice for aspiring accountants, and how AI might affect the discipline.
