About Jarod Davis

I am an internal audit and controls leader with over 20 years of experience leading audit and risk management programs across large, complex organizations. I partner closely with senior leadership to provide independent, risk-based assurance while helping organizations strengthen governance, internal controls, and enterprise-wide risk oversight as they grow in scale and complexity. I bring deep expertise in internal audit methodology and internal controls, quality assurance programs, enterprise risk assessment, audit planning, and audit committee reporting. While my background includes highly regulated financial institutions, my work consistently translates audit rigor into practical, scalable assurance models applicable across public and private companies in a wide range of industries.Throughout my career, I have led enterprise audit transformations, including the design of right-sized audit methodologies, development of continuous auditing and analytics programs, implementation of modern audit technology platforms, and establishment of best-in-class Quality Assurance & Improvement Programs. These initiatives have resulted in measurable improvements in audit efficiency, risk visibility, and stakeholder confidence.As a leader, I am known for building strong, collaborative teams, partnering effectively with senior executives and boards, and simplifying complex risk and control concepts into clear, actionable insights. I am particularly energized by opportunities to help mission-driven and consumer-facing organizations strengthen and scale their internal audit and governance programs as they grow, transform, or navigate change.
