The Institute of Internal Auditors Presents: All Things Internal Audit
In this special episode, hear from Manisha and Iresh Anarkat; a mother and son whose paths in volunteering highlight two sides of the internal audit pipeline. Manisha shares how chapter leadership builds community, skills, and opportunity, while Iresh offers a student’s perspective on discovering the CIA, promoting the profession on campus, and stepping outside his comfort zone. Together, they show why volunteering, whether two hours a month or leading a chapter, matters for today and tomorrow.
