“Disrupt or be disrupted,” says KPMG finance industry COO, Learning from Leaders, Episode 6

You might be surprised to hear an auditor embrace the advice, “Disrupt or be disrupted.” The auditing business is highly regulated worldwide and an auditor’s role in the business ecosystem is to provide stability and transparency. Disruption isn’t an idea the industry takes lightly. But for Tom Duffy, COO of KPMG’s Global Audit Practice, getting ahead of the digital curve has allowed him to lead his company in bringing more transparency to the auditing process, ushering in more diversity in thinking, new perspectives, and insight into problem-solving.
