About Colin Duncan

I authored “Stumbling Into Success is Good. Having a Plan is Better”. I am also a Managing Director in Deloitte’s Government and Public Services practice. I deliver services to a broad range of clients, various projects and engagements, and serve as a leader for hundreds of Deloitte practitioners. I have 20+ years of experience and led projects that assess and improve the effectiveness of internal controls and compliance with relevant laws, regulations, and agency-specific policies and procedures. For my DoD Clients, I guide the planning, preparation, and development of the Annual Financial Reports, and I manage multiple teams that perform financial management accounting and reconciliation services. I contribute my career success not only to my Deloitte mentors and peers, but also to my father who immigrated to America and served as a role model for what it means to be a leader. I enjoy spending time with my wife and two wonderful children by attending our neighborhood church and enjoying the outdoors, whether that is skiing in the winter or swimming in the summer. My wife and I started a nonprofit organization in 2009, Servants Without Borders. To whom much is given, much is required…. accordingly, I want to help my broader community with meaningful work.
