This week on The Audit Podcast, our guest is Clarissa Lucas, author of Beyond Agile Auditing.

Back by popular demand, Clarissa discusses whether auditing with agility is more of a mindset or a methodology—and why focusing on the why matters more than the how. She shares practical ways teams can move from a "practice-first" approach to an agile mindset and highlights key agile practices supported by recent research she's translated for the audit community.
