The Internal Auditor of Tomorrow: Why Artificial Intelligence Raises the Bar (Part 2) 💥
In the second part of my conversation with Hervé Gloaguen https://www.linkedin.com/in/hervé-gloaguen-5348ab9/, former Group Chief Audit Executive and Group Chief Compliance Officer of Allianz, we move from the what to the how. And Hervé does not hold back.
His big idea: internal audit should not protect its own people. It should be a talent incubator for the whole organization. 🌱
That means attracting the best, developing them intensively, and then, the truly hard part, having the courage to let them fly. In his own words: “I need to cut my right arm regularly.” 💪
A few provocations that stayed with me:
🔹 Around 70% of an audit team should be non career auditors, talented people passing through, not staying for life.
🔹 A Chief Audit Executive should serve a maximum of about eight years. Fresh eyes matter.
🔹 Real growth comes from movement, across functions, geographies and roles. You are the manager of your own career.
And on the eternal budget debate, his insurance cover metaphor is brilliant: it is not about praying for more headcount, it is about advising the board on how much safety they truly want. 🛡️
His closing advice to every head of audit? Do not hire the next you. And keep a good sense of humour. 😊
If you missed Part 1, start there, then come back for this one.
