Auditors Save the World! Sue-Ann Levy

In this episode of Auditors Save the World, podcast host Leita Hart-Fanta, CPA interviews superhero, Sue-Ann Levy.

In this week’s special episode, our caped crusader isn’t an auditor at all. But fear not, citizen! For the forces of truth and accountability know many forms…

She’s the ink-stained avenger of the press!

The watchdog of the watchdogs!

The relentless reporter with a spine of steel and a nose for justice… Sue-Ann!

With nothing but a notepad, a laptop, and an unshakable sense of right and wrong, Sue-Ann stood tall against corruption in City Hall. Shining light where others feared to look, she never backed down. Harassed, silenced, and shown the door by those she exposed, she still never backed down.

Because in her world, there aren’t just two sides to every story. There are three!

So tune in, true believers, as we uncover the parallels between auditors and investigative journalists. Learn how asking the hard questions just might save the world.

About Sue-Ann Levy

Sue-Ann Levy built up a loyal readership of both fans and detractors over her 31 years on the political and investigative beats for the Toronto Sun and the Post Media chain of newspapers.

Openly gay and right-of-center politically, Sue-Ann was one of the top read Toronto Sun columnists because of her outspoken opinions, take-no-prisoners writing style and the fearless way with which she tackled the elitists in government, other publicly funded institutions and in the media. She made it her crusade to expose waste and mismanagement, to promote an unpopular cost-cutting agenda and to probe issues no other journalists have dared to tackle.

Her exposes included investigations into the largest social housing company in North America, the homeless and poverty industries, the Pan Am Games, and the unaffordable affordable housing business.

In late August of 2016, Sue-Ann’s first book – Underdog: Confessions of a Right-Wing, Gay Jewish Muckraker – was released by Penguin Random House Canada to rave reviews and media coverage across Canada and in such international publications as the Times of Israel.

Sue-Ann is a experienced pundit and public speaker on a variety of political, gay, Jewish and topical issues and has been asked regularly to appear at conferences and on political panels.

Since her retirement from full-time reporting in 2021, Sue-Ann has freelanced for the independent platform True North, focusing on range of op-ed topics including the education system and the rabid rise in anti-Semitism.

A seasoned runner, Sue-Ann achieved her dream of running the Jerusalem half-marathon in March of 2018, one of the top five most difficult courses in the world. She divides her time between Toronto, Canada and Delray Beach, Florida with her wife, Denise Alexander and their three politically incorrect dachshunds, Fritzy, Monty and pipsqueak Frida.
