Most people think internal audit is about checklists, testing, and reports.

It isn’t.

At its highest level, audit is about judgment, influence, and trust.

SparkPoint Pro is a leadership podcast for internal auditors who are ready to move beyond execution and start operating at the level their role truly demands.

Hosted by Matt Wood — a former Chief Audit Executive with 25+ years of experience across banking, IT audit, and global operations — this podcast explores the real-world leadership skills that separate auditors who do the work from auditors who shape outcomes.

Each episode dives into:

• The mindset shift from executor to trusted advisor

• Leadership and communication skills most audit training never teaches

• Real audit scenarios where judgment matters more than checklists

• The psychological side of influence, credibility, and professional presence

If you’re a mid-career auditor who feels capable of more — but hasn’t been shown how to step into it — you’re in the right place.

New episodes coming soon.
