    Ep 273: AI, Gamification, and the Future of Internal Audit w/ Aadesh Gandhre (DTCC)

    This week on The Audit Podcast, our guest is Aadesh Gandhre, Chief Audit Executive at DTCC. Aadesh shares his perspective on reshaping the perception of internal audit, both inside organizations and across the profession. Drawing on his background in technology and innovation, he explains why internal audit must move away from being seen as a spotlight that hunts for findings and instead become a lighthouse that helps organizations navigate risk and change. We talk about servant leadership and how small cultural shifts, such as celebrating wins, encouraging experimentation, and reframing failure as learning, can unlock innovation within audit teams. Aadesh also walks through how his team is using gamification, internal recognition, and creative engagement to build a stronger audit brand and a more motivated global workforce.
