"I LOVE Internal Audit"

In 2001, Raven began facilitating courses and in 2007, she decided to make her expertise in and passion for Internal Auditing a new career: professional training and education.

Some people say, "she was born to be an auditor; it is not what she does, it is part of who she is". Others say, "she is a natural teacher, speaker and presenter".

We say, "she was born to teach auditors the knowledge, skills, and competencies to be an effective auditor in a career that has served her so well".
