Internal Auditors are like detectives. They search for clues that will guide them to finding issues within an organisation. Whether it’s with the organisation’s risks, operational effectiveness, or compliance with laws and regulations And like any good detective - at least, like the ones in TV shows - they need their trusty magnifying glass to spot all these little clues that others wouldn’t notice! Now, that magnifying glass represents data analytics. With that data analytics in hand, Internal Auditors are changing the way they work. Meet Peter McLeod Peter’s Role as an Information Leader at the University of Southern Queensland Peter McLeod is a Director of Assurance Services at the University of Southern Queensland, where he oversees Risk, Compliance, and Internal Audit functions. The University of Southern Queensland is a regional University dedicated to providing quality degrees and programs in a flexible and supportive environment. In just over 50 years, the University of Southern Queensland has become a prominent teaching and research institution providing education worldwide from three Southern Queensland locations. For 3 years in a row, the university has been ranked No. 1 in Australia for graduate starting salary, and almost 80% of our students gain full-time employment on completing their degree. Peter’s Other Work in Information and IT Before becoming the University of Southern Queensland’s Director of Assurance Services, Peter took on the role of Associate Director of Finance, developing a Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Strategy and deploying it within the university’s Financial Services.
