AuditBoard Academy testimonial from a VP, Internal Audit & Enterprise Risk

Fred Friedel, CISA – VP, Internal Audit & Enterprise Risk, was gracious enough to talk to us about his experience with AuditBoard Academy. Friedel is a longtime AuditBoard user, and he and his team have earned several certifications in the AuditBoard Academy catalog. Friedel says:

Once you complete a certification, you receive:

• A digital badge and certificate, which you can share internally or on LinkedIn, social media, and beyond, celebrating your professional accomplishments with the world
• 100 Community Hub points and a profile badge, showing the AuditBoard community your expertise and knowledge
• Increased confidence, visibility, and professional growth

“By taking the certifications, I can ensure that I know the proper way things work,” says Friedel, “Doing the certification also gave me some exposure to AuditBoard functionality that we don’t use from the real-world scenarios that you include in the certifications. Seeing how these scenarios are used in the exam questions helps me to apply them.”

Friedel also adds that the certifications can act as a team-building tool. “Occasionally, I’ll do a challenge where I’ll offer my team members the opportunity to compete for a gift card,” he says. “I gave my team a challenge on who could get the highest score on the AuditBoard certifications, and it motivates everybody to try. Most – if not all – of the auditors on my team participated in this challenge.”
