Auditors Save the World! Tiffany McCoy

In this episode of Auditors Save the World, podcast host Leita Hart-Fanta, CPA interviews auditing superhero, Tiffany McCoy.

When deadlines loom and audit backlogs threaten to swallow your entire audit team with no way to get the job done, there’s one name you can call: Tiffany!

Yes, Tiffany. The internal auditor for hire and powerhouse partner of public purpose! With her decades of experience and unstoppable drive, she steps in when others step back delivering insight, integrity, and impact every single time.

She’s the master of relationships, turning clients into allies and audits into opportunities for collaboration. Tiffany reminds us that curiosity is like a compass pointing auditors toward new subjects, new challenges, and the ever-widening world of government accountability.

For her, every audit is more than a checklist. It’s a chance to understand how and why our governments make the choices they do. Because Tiffany believes insight is patriotic and good government depends on good auditors.

And when the going gets tough, she reminds her colleagues to network, to stay curious, and to never forget the noble mission that drew them to the profession in the first place.
