What people say about us

Don’t take our word for it.  Please take a few minutes to read a few comments from some of the amazing people we’ve worked with over the years.

As an advisor and sounding board

Todd is, in my opinion, one of the pre-eminent global thought leaders on internal audit, risk management and corporate governance.
Global Fortune 300 Chief Auditor

Todd fundamentally and positively improved the internal audit function and – by extension – the control environment of one of the largest mining companies in the world.

Todd’s greatest skills lie in taking the ordinary to the extraordinary. He engages the unengaged. He inspires the uninspired.

If you are seeking someone that will fundamentally and positively transform your risk, audit and governance processes and functions I can think of no better person than Todd .
Global Head of Corporate Assurance, Rio Tinto

Still, to this day, and when facing difficult situations, I find myself asking, “I wonder what Todd would say?”, “what would he do?” It’s not often that you get to work with somebody who has had such a profound impact on you. I thank Todd for his leadership, his wise counsel, and his passion for making others successful – a true inspiration and somebody I will talk about to others for the rest of my career!

I learn something every time we talk.

Board Director, ACF

Your contribution over the 8 years has been phenomenal! I know as I was there for most of it. I learned so much from you and I think the organisation is in a better place largely due to you keeping us on the straight and narrow but with a practical and commercial approach.

As a contributor to global best practice 

Todd is a thought leader with deep insights into the professional practice of internal auditing. I have great respect for him as a person and a professional. When Todd moves on from his position with the IIA Australia, it will be a loss not only for Australia but the global profession. He adds a lot. 
Norman Marks, Global thought leader

I had a chance to collaborate with Todd and to benefit greatly from his thought leadership for the internal audit profession. His work specifically in Australia now resonates on a much larger scale and inspires internal audit thought leaders globally. I am blessed to have Todd among my connections and I wish many will have the chance to work with this highly respected professional.

He did an excellent job of outlining ways to identify and prepare for Black Swans and suggested a practical framework to help remove some of your organization’s blind spots. I was so impressed by his thought provoking comments that I mentioned him and his presentation during my keynote address.
