How Internal Audit Delivers CFO-Ready Insights

Internal Audit is under pressure to deliver more than assurance. CFOs want insight they can act on, and they want it faster.

In this live conversation, Christina Kallai, Director of Internal Audit at Salesforce, and Chris Ortega, CEO of Fresh FP&A, unpack what finance leaders actually expect from Internal Audit today and why many audit teams struggle to meet those expectations, even when the work is technically sound.

This session goes beyond theory to explore how leading organizations are rethinking evidence, alignment, and audit’s role in the business and what separates teams that are seen as trusted partners from those that are still viewed as a compliance function.

You’ll hear perspectives on:

• What CFOs really value from Internal Audit and what quietly erodes trust.
• Why audit work often slows down decision-making, and where teams get stuck.
• How stronger alignment between IA, EA, and Finance changes the conversation.
• What it takes for Internal Audit to deliver insight that finance leaders rely on.
