Welcome to AccelPro Audit, where we provide expert interviews and coaching to accelerate your professional development. Today we’re featuring a conversation with Danielle Ritter, VP Internal Audit at Instacart.
In her early career as at PwC in Silicon Valley and now as head of audit at delivery tech company Instacart, Danielle Ritter has had a front row seat to how emerging technologies are changing the audit profession. In this interview she talks about her best tips for collaborating with engineers, her approach to the AI boom, and the need to balance speed and innovation with controls and risk mitigation when working with tech companies who are eager to “move fast and break things.”
We also discuss her career progression from external to internal audit, her experience building an internal audit department from scratch, her approach to hiring, how she built a supportive network of peers to help her through tough transitions, and what it was like to be on the floor of the stock exchange the day Instacart IPOed.
