Rising from the Mailroom to the Boardroom

Bruce Turner is a well-respected transformational leader who has extensive experience on audit committees and boards, coupled with deep and broad professional governance, risk, compliance and audit experience. He is well-positioned to see things through the eyes of an audit committee chairman and board director, while his exemplary record as a CAE means he can reconcile audit committee and board needs with what internal audit and risk management practitioners could (and should) be providing. He is just the second professional internal auditor in Australia to receive Order of Australia honors recognizing his impact on the internal audit profession. He has more than 40 years of practitioner and leadership experience in internal auditing across the globe, traversing the energy, financial services (commercial, merchant, and central banking), government, manufacturing, and transport sectors. He has mentored, supported, nurtured and led audit committee members, and developed and delivered highly-regarded audit committee training courses. He is well-positioned to share his wisdom in this book.
