~ Fraud & Pop Culture Presentation Attendees, MNCPA Society MBAC 2023 Conference – June 2023

 Made a very boring topic very interesting and very relevant!

Thanks so much for your presentation. It was one of the most enjoyable and interesting ones I’ve attended.

The training is great! Very informative and interesting! Really effective mix of speaking and videos.

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist 4-Hour CPE Training Attendees, Massachusetts CPA Events – June 2023

What an incredible job Jo did for the Central Ohio Fraud Chapter! Giving over 900 professionals not one, but two sessions of Ethics, and Internal Audit!

Ethics can be a tough piece of content to keep a crowd at bay… but with some amazing punch lines, fun interactive game with funky sound effects, and a fantastic speaker, our entire conference got the best kind of ethics training out there!!

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist Keynote and Rethinking Internal Audit Attendee, Central Ohio ACFE Chapter Conference – May 2023

You are just amazing. I love your creativity and outlook. Refreshing. Want to franchise what you do! LOL

The training enables you to have a different approach to add value to your company. It keeps you on top of concepts that lets you audit into the future.

The class was interesting, interactive, and informative. The instructor’s enthusiasm and knowledge of the subject kept me engaged. Thanks!

~Auditing Around The Corner Attendees, Florida West Coast IIA Chapter – May 2023

Great topic. I find that myself and folks at our shop do get stuck in a rut so to speak. You provided good ideas on how to get out of that rut and things to think about.

~Rethinking Internal Audit Attendee, Fargo, ND – Red River Valley IIA Chapter – May 2023

Love your energy. Love your passion for your profession. What a great kick off to this conference!

~Rethinking Internal Audit Keynote Attendee, 2023 Nashville IIA Chapter Symposium – April 2023

This is an outstanding presentation! Very engaging and worth my time. Loved it!

~The 7 Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations Attendee, Fargo, ND – Red River Valley IIA Chapter – April 2023

Jo – Wow! You are a great speaker!!!!

Very engaging and gave good points to bring up to audit leaders that may otherwise turn their nose up to change.

Engaging, love the stories!

~Rethinking Internal Audit Attendees, Florida West Coast IIA Chapter – April 2023

Great great great session, Jo! I am only in the second year of my internal audit career, so it is great to hear of new approaches and ways to develop an audit for the year outside of what my organization already has in place. Although my financial institution is amazing, I think it is important to bring fresh ideas back to the team – and that is what I plan to do! Thank you for your time in speaking with us and I look forward to following you on social media where I can hopefully see you speak again in the future!

~Rethinking Internal Audit Attendee, San Antonio IIA Chapter – March 2023

You did a fantastic job and I agree with a lot of the things you said today! Thank you and I will do my best to incorporate what I learned to be a more effective auditor!

~Rethinking Internal Audit Attendee, San Antonio IIA Chapter – March 2023

Liked many of the quotes as they pertain to both professional and personal settings. Also liked the stories/scenarios that proved the points being discussed.

Lots of things to reflect on as we rethink our role as auditors!

~Rethinking Internal Audit Attendee, Central IL IIA Chapter – February 2023

Fantastic! So engaging and relevant! The real-world examples and the they’re presented made this one of the best webinars I’ve ever seen.

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Attendee, Kansas City ACFE Chapter – February 2023

I’ve stayed interested the entire time – due both to content and presentation!

It made me think of an experience I had at Target a few years ago: I had a shaving razer in my hand that I planned on buying, then got distracted talking with one of the employees who is a friend of my ex-husband (he was there too and started the chat). We chatted for a good 15 – 20 minutes, and by that time I had totally forgotten that I had the razer in my hand and I walked right out of the store without paying! Halfway to the car I totally panicked because I wanted to go back in and pay, but I also didn’t want to be apprehended on my way back in for stealing since intent was NOT there! Ultimately I did go back in and pay and it wasn’t a problem. Whew!

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Attendee, Kansas City ACFE Chapter – February 2023

I have always found fraud and why people commit fraud to be interesting. Coming at it from a side of ethics is interesting and made me realize I’m an ethical rationalizer and that’s not good enough. I plan to be more conscience after this about being an everyday ethicist.

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Attendee, Kansas City ACFE Chapter – February 2023

Love your breaking (the ethics) thought process into the three types. Makes analyzing observations and self-assessment very clear!

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Attendee, Nashville AGA Chapter – January 2023

You are an excellent speaker and I am surprised to say I thoroughly enjoy this ethics segment. Great job.

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Attendee, Nashville AGA Chapter – January 2023

A great, interactive session with real and meaningful examples of both how fraud can manifest and how to assess it.

Loved your energy! Made this event very interesting!

~Total Ethical Auditing: Assessing Ethics & Fraud Red Flags Attendees, Ottawa IIA Chapter – December 2022

The topic and presentation were both outstanding. It truly made me and my staff think about how we are executing and how we should execute going forward.

~Rethinking Internal Audit Attendee, Charlotte IIA Chapter – December 2022

One of the best trainings I’ve attended all year. I love Jo’s webinars- relevant, lively, timely, and so thought provoking. She always follows up with great resources – I’ve gained so much from participating!

~The 7 Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations Attendee, Pacific Northwest IIA Chapters – December 2022

LOVED the book recommendations – My Business Reading list for 2023 is now complete! Very timely, engaging presentation. Best Ethics training I have had ever!

~The 7 Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations Attendee, Pacific Northwest IIA Chapters – December 2022

You made a normally dry subject very interesting and entertaining. I especially liked how you interwove the videos into the presentation to support your points on the seven deadly ethical sins.

~The 7 Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations Attendee, San Antonio IIA Chapter – December 2022

Videos of real cases really brought it home. Thanks for keeping smiles through difficult topics.

~The 7 Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations Attendee, San Antonio IIA Chapter – December 2022

Loved the up-to-date, relevant content and specific case study examples. VERY WELL DONE!

~The 7 Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations Attendee, San Antonio IIA Chapter – December 2022

I would love to have Jo do another presentation for us! She was engaging and passionate about the subject and I enjoyed learning from her.

~Total Ethical Auditing: Assessing Ethics & Fraud Red Flags Attendee, Private Insurance Client – November 2022

Jo was super knowledgeable, energized, and the material was very interesting. Well worth the time!

~Total Ethical Auditing: Assessing Ethics & Fraud Red Flags Attendee, Private Insurance Client – November 2022

Jo was a great presenter. She brought the topics to life, which can be tough with generally dry content.

~Total Ethical Auditing: Assessing Ethics & Fraud Red Flags Attendee, Private Insurance Client – November 2022

Loved the training!

Your presentation was great! 

Your email to all the attendees after – amazing!  I wish all presenters were so good about anticipating what their students may need.  Several of us were discussing furiously writing down book, news, and podcast recommendations during your presentation and then, poof, they were in our inbox this morning with links and all.  But then again, I probably shouldn’t be surprised because you really have been a pleasure to work with.

~Total Quality Auditing® Attendees and Meeting Planner, Association of Local Government Auditors Regional Conference – November 2022

Thank you so much! Today reinforced that while I hit roadblocks along the way with audit work, I am moving in the right direction. It was a much needed re-charge!

~Auditing Around The Corner Attendee, Twin Cities IIA Chapter – November 2022

I liked the energy in the class during the entire day. The topics we covered were timely and the discussion were great.
Thank you!

~Auditing Around The Corner Attendee, Twin Cities IIA Chapter – November 2022

Jo presented new and fresh ideas on Fraud and Ethics. I like getting new ideas and ways to focus on these two areas.

The material was great & there are several points I’ll get to apply to a current project.

~Total Ethical Auditing™: Assessing Ethics & Fraud Red Flags Attendees, Tallahassee IIA and ACFE Chapters – November 2022

Very interesting way to compare auditing to life situations and expand our minds/thinking. I really enjoyed this training!

Very engaging, in what COULD have been a very boring topic! Good real-world applications and examples!!

~Auditing Around The Corner Attendee, Tallahassee IIA and ACFE Chapters – November 2022

Thank you Jo for bringing the energy! You are so passionate about this topic, and it is contagious. I really liked the flow of your presentation, switching to videos and examples of real life events.

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Attendee, Private Client Training – October 2022

I learned a lot that makes me realize that a good auditor begins with “Becoming The Everyday Ethicist.” The knowledge I acquired will carry me throughout my career.

Absolutely wonderful presentation!

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Attendee, Private Client Training – October 2022

I love how engaging you made the topic of ethics and the real world examples. It was super interesting and fun.

~The 7 Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations Attendee, State of Illinois Government Auditors Conference – October 2022

Very engaging. Jo is a great speaker and a wonderful personality to listen to. You can tell she cares about ethics truly!

Most engaging ethics yet!

Awesome job. Very interactive and great examples.

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Attendee, IIA Virginia Training Academy – October 2022

As a CIA, I have attended other ethics coarses. I thoroughly enjoyed her approach and the content.

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Attendee, IIA Virginia Training Academy – October 2022

I thoroughly enjoyed your session. Great examples and clips to hit home the points.

So much energy and so much great content!!

~Auditing Around The Corner Attendees, Madison IIA Chapter/University of Wisconsin Auditors – October 2022

The information presented was relatable for our industry. Very well informed and highly recommended to professionals.

~Assessing Ethics and Fraud Red Flags Attendee, Madison IIA Chapter/University of Wisconsin Auditors – October 2022

Jo is so passionate and knowledgeable! I was completely engaged and motivated by her presentation and energy!

I love the stories Jo shared which really inspired people to think!

~Assessing Ethics and Fraud Red Flags Attendee, Madison IIA Chapter/University of Wisconsin Auditors – October 2022

Best IA training I’ve ever done!

Enjoyed the engagement between the attendees driven by the speakers pointed questions. Loved the book references cited. It made me rethink a few ways to audit.

~Rethinking Internal Audit & Interactive Workshop All-day Attendee, Granite State/Maine IIA Chapters – September 2022

I believe that we can always grow and rethink things. Being able to see and hear the different ways made it easier. I love how everything in your slides/presentation was up to date.

~Rethinking Internal Audit & Interactive Workshop All-day Attendee, Granite State/Maine IIA Chapters – September 2022

5 stars!

~Auditing Around The Corner Attendee, St. Louis IIA Chapter – September 2022

Jo, you are a GREAT presenter. Love your energy. Hope to attend a future session of yours.

~Rethinking Internal Audit Attendee, IIA New Orleans and Central Mississippi Chapters – September 2022

Great fresh ideas and expanding on value-added service that sets IA apart from the “old” mindset.

~Rethinking Internal Audit Attendee, IIA New Orleans and Central Mississippi Chapters – September 2022

Fantastic presentation! You are the best speaker we have had all year. Nice to have actionable items to walk away with.

~Rethinking Internal Audit Attendee, IIA New Orleans and Central Mississippi Chapters – September 2022

Incredibly engaging talk. I would gladly listen to her speak at every conference.

~The 7 Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations – 28th Annual Williamsburg Advanced Fraud Academy Attendee – August 2022

Loved the approach using the 7 deadly sins! Super creative!

~The 7 Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations – 28th Annual Williamsburg Advanced Fraud Academy Attendee – August 2022

It was very entertaining! She was great I wish we had more time.

~The 7 Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations – 28th Annual Williamsburg Advanced Fraud Academy Attendee – August 2022

Every presentation was so engaging and informative!

Intimate size, the interaction with attendees, one of the best training in years. Great job.

I loved all of the every day applications and real life examples.

I loved the interaction with the speakers as well as the gentle “forcing” to interact with other members of the conference. The smaller size of the conference was wonderful to allow for better more impactful networking opportunities!

I really liked hearing directly from the victims themselves. I don’t think I have ever been to Fraud CPE where the victims have told how they discovered it and the impact on their business.

The smaller size of the conference was wonderful to allow for better more impactful networking opportunities!

~2022 Fraud Retreat Attendee Feedback – August 2022

5 stars!! Awesome content, incredibly engaging instruction. Thanks for a day very well spent!

~Auditing Around The Corner Attendee, Fox Valley / Central Wisconsin IIA Chapter – June 2022

~Auditing Around The Corner Attendee, Fox Valley / Central Wisconsin IIA Chapter – June 2022

It was a great training event – Jo was relatable and easy to follow. The presentation was interesting and informative. Jo is very approachable, friendly, and easy to talk to.

~Auditing Around The Corner Attendee, Fox Valley / Central Wisconsin IIA Chapter – June 2022

Jo is great! The presentation was relevant and engaging. Not only did Jo provide quality content, she really looks for open discussions and interactions between attendees.

~Auditing Around The Corner Attendee, Fox Valley / Central Wisconsin IIA Chapter – June 2022

Best ethics course I ever took. Real ethical thoughts.

~Half Day Virtual Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Attendee, Mass CPAs Private Client – May 2022

Fantastic job with the examples and resources presented! Love the idea of bringing back popular ethics cases and meshing them with new and more up to date ones.

~Half Day Virtual Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Attendee, Mass CPAs Private Client – May 2022

Awesome presentation, Jo. This was not a typical ethics training, lots of learning and reminding about doing the right thing. Great stuff. Thank you!

~Half Day Virtual Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Attendee, Mass CPAs Private Client – May 2022

I loved Jo’s ethics program. She gets her important message across in a fun, engaging, and accessible manner. I look forward to reading her book for more insight and actionable recommendations.

~Half Day Virtual Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Attendee, Mass CPAs Private Client – May 2022

Our office had the opportunity yesterday to participate in the training, Rethinking Internal Audit, by Amanda “Jo” Erven. The content was eye opening about how we need to take a different look at how we approach our work and not to let the idea that “we’ve always done it that way” guide us. It was a great class to get us thinking about how we can do our job better.

~Rethinking Internal Audit Attendee, Private Client – May 2022

I really enjoyed the presentation. It pushed the envelope, and I saw it put new ideas to our audit leadership team. Thank you!

~Rethinking Internal Audit Attendee, Private Client – May 2022

Excellent. Really hit the point and did so in an entertaining fashion.

Loved how engaging the presentations were!

Loved the presentation all day! 

~Fraud & Pop Culture with Kelly Paxton Attendees, IIA Indianapolis – May 2022

This was entertaining, timely, educational and inspiring. I have studied ethics as elements of school courses and felt the topic was ineffectually squished into existing coursework. This was the first time I felt a connection to the topic as a practice that I want to focus on and improve my performance in. Thank you so much.

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Attendee, State Employees Leading Colorado Conference – May 2022

Great talk, Jo is an amazing speaker! Making ethics fun is what I would say about today!

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Attendee, State Employees Leading Colorado Conference – May 2022

The BEST Ethics presentation ever!

Honestly, it was great! So glad to have met you, and look forward to keeping in touch.

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Attendee, State Employees Leading Colorado Conference – May 2022

Excellent session! My first “in person” training since 2020. Great to watch Jo interact with participants!

~Full Day In Person Auditing Around The Corner Attendee, Coastal GA IIA Chapter – May 2022

~Full Day In Person Auditing Around The Corner Attendee, Coastal GA IIA Chapter – May 2022

Today was by far the best most interesting and interactive ethics training I have received. The delivery was both engaging and very relative to today’s real world examples. I appreciated the energy level of the presenter and how well read she is as a true subject matter expert. I would highly recommend this training to my organization as well as industry peers. I am so excited to join the book club – I cannot wait!

~Full Day Virtual Ethics Event Attendee, Raleigh ACFE Chapter – May 2022

I had heard Amanda Jo before and got more of the same: exuberant, engaging, great interactions, and good, up-to-date materials. She makes stale topics very interesting and engaging by bringing lively material to the presentation.

~Full Day Virtual Ethics Event Attendee, Raleigh ACFE Chapter – May 2022

Loved the 7 deadly sins! Never heard it put that way and it really resonated with me.

Excellent course. Very engaging. Materials are current and relevant.

Best ethics training ever!

~The 7 Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations Presentation Attendees, Albany IIA Chapter – April 2022

Great information and areas that we need to spend more time focusing on!!! Love it!

Great thought-provoking presentation. Jo is an excellent online presenter!

A very forward thinking presentation. It was great!

~Auditing Around The Corner Presentation Attendees, Albany IIA Chapter – April 2022

Best ethics training by far! It was relevant, applicable, and even entertaining! Thank you!

~The 7 Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations Presentation Attendee, Birmingham IIA Chapter – April 2022

This was a fantastic training. You did a great job keeping us engaged and I loved that you provided so many examples and tv show recommendations. Definitely putting what we are learning and seeing in practice. I hope you come back again! Enjoyed the presentation a lot.

~The 7 Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations Presentation Attendee, Birmingham IIA Chapter – April 2022

As advertised – “Best Ever” ethics training! Really appreciate the insights and challenges. I’ll be a better auditor and my employer a better company as well!

~Assessing Ethics and Fraud Red Flags, Massachusetts Bank Internal Auditors Board Member/Attendee – March 2022

Very interesting presentation! Great tips. Presenter very knowledgeable on topic and energetic and engaging.

~Assessing Ethics and Fraud Red Flags, Massachusetts Bank Internal Auditors Attendee – March 2022

Thanks to Amanda “Jo” Erven for her outstanding presentation to the IIA Columbus (GA) Chapter today on the Seven Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations! It was highly polished, timely and relevant with great case studies and insight. Highly recommended!

~The 7 Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations Attendee, IIA District Representative, Southeast District 1 – March 2022

This was one of the most interesting and well presented educational sessions I’ve attended! Thanks so much for providing this event for our IIA chapter!

~The 7 Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations Attendee, Columbus GA IIA Chapter – March 2022

Loved the presentation! It kept my interest the entire time and really made me think throughout it. I really liked all of the real life examples and movie trailers. Truly an engaging presentation.

~The 7 Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations Attendee, Columbus GA IIA Chapter – March 2022

This was the best presentation I’ve seen in years- maybe ever!

LOVED the real world examples. Already have a list of items to complete within my organization!

~The 7 Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations Attendee, Central IL IIA Chapter – March 2022

Simply amazing! I thought I knew where I stood on ethical values. This presentation really made me think. Heading off now to work on my ethical mantra! Can’t wait to join your book club!

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Attendee, Winnipeg IIA 2022 Fraud Summit – March 2022

Great presentation! Thanks! The examples were excellent and will encourage me to watch some of documentary’s that are available.
This presentation helped me to re think my ethics which have perhaps slipped into more of a “me” perspective. I need to be more aware of the effect of my decisions.

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Attendee, Winnipeg IIA 2022 Fraud Summit – March 2022

This was the most interesting CPE I have ever attended over the last 15 years. It was fascinating to hear additional details on the real cases that I knew only little about.

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Attendee, Jacksonville Chapter of the ACFE – February 2022

Best Ethics Presentation I’ve Ever Attended!
Great enthusiasm and energy, Jo. Great content. This was a fantastic use of time. Thank you!

Such refreshing comments and mindshifts for auditors.

Very much enjoyed the presentation, and current insights auditors need to take into consideration.

~Auditing Around the Corner Attendees, Central IL IIA Chapter – February 2022

Enlightening and entertaining. Presented in a way that will make the points easy to remember. I have to say that I think this may be the best ethics training I’ve been to!

~The 7 Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations Attendee, Central Ohio Chapter of the ACFE – January 2022

LOVED! I have heard you present numerous times and you are the best presenter! So entertaining, engaging, and relevant. Thank you!

~The 7 Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations Attendee, Central Ohio Chapter of the ACFE – January 2022

Fantastic and very engaging session! It was relevant to current events and challenges facing organizations. You made me want to find follow-up knowledge, which is sadly rare for me after ethics trainings.

~The 7 Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations Attendee, Central Ohio Chapter of the ACFE – January 2022

Fantastic, upbeat, engaging with plenty of relevant material. The two hours just flew by – wonderful presentation!

~The 7 Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations Attendee, Central Ohio Chapter of the ACFE – January 2022

Jo’s Ethics course is highly recommended! Taking her course heightened my self-awareness of my own ethical character, which gives me leverage to pivot my approach in the most ideal way in dealing with challenging ethical scenarios.
As a presenter, she goes above and beyond! She was instrumental in making my Chapter’s recent event a success. Jo’s name is on the top of my list of my most recommended speakers!

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Virtual Session Attendee, Inland Empire IIA Chapter President – January 2022

Presenter draws on so many real life examples or corporations behaving unethically. This is what makes it so interesting! You can tell the presenter is very passionate about the subject matter which is inspiring! If not the best, it is probably one of the best courses I have taken on ethics.

~ The 7 Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations Course Attendee, CPD Formula – December 2021

Great Presentation! I thoroughly enjoyed this course almost to the point of gluttony…. Excellent job Jo!

~ The 7 Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations Course Attendee, CPD Formula – December 2021

This course was fantastic. I really enjoyed the pace and material covered. Jo has a breadth and depth of understanding of the subject. She is also a great presenter.

~ Ethics, Culture, and Internal Auditing at Your Organization Course Attendee, CPD Formula – December 2021

Excellent presentation and content! This course remained interesting throughout its entirety. Real-world examples really help to bring substance to the concepts being presented.

~ The 7 Deadly Ethical Sins of Organizations Course Attendee, CPD Formula – November 2021

Jo was outstanding, honest, open, and vulnerable. I could have listened to her tie in her personal story into real life applications all day.

~ Your Road. Your Choices. Closing Keynote Attendee, IIA Virginia 2021 Training Academy – October 2021

I was truly inspired by Jo’s presentation. It has been a long time since I left a conference as jazzed as I was after hearing her speak.

~ Your Road. Your Choices. Closing Keynote Attendee, IIA Virginia 2021 Training Academy – October 2021

Jo was excellent!! Her delivery was full of energy and the passion for her content was evident. The material was relevant for all levels and crossed over to some best practices that can be used in and out the office.

~ Auditing Around the Corner Opening Keynote Attendee, IIA Virginia 2021 Training Academy – October 2021

Definitively 5 stars. Very interesting! Best 2 hour meeting in a year!
The webinar was well planned and the resources were appropriate. I like ethical dilemmas pushing the participants to question themselves.

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Virtual Session Attendee, Houston IIA Chapter – October 2021

This was by far the best Ethics Training I have attended. This was a virtual event; however, the way Jo was interacting with us made this seem more like an in-person event.

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Virtual Session Attendee, Houston IIA Chapter – October 2021

Fantastic – one of the best Ethics classes I have ever attended. Loved the energy and examples shared. Really caused me to pause and think about how I live my life.

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Virtual Session Attendee, Houston IIA Chapter – October 2021

This is one of the most comprehensive ethics webinars I have heard. I am happy that you were not afraid to touch on the current events that manipulate current behaviors, e.g. Facebook. We need more accountability but sadly a lot of this is missing today because of the BIG Me!

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Virtual Session Attendee, Houston IIA Chapter – October 2021

This was the most intriguing and attention grabbing ethics training I’ve ever been to. Thank you!

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Virtual Session Attendee, Atlanta IIA Chapter – The Atlanta Conference, September 2021

Loved it! Everyone in the country needs to hear it. Especially people in leadership positions, which is everyone at some point in their lives.

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Virtual Session Attendee, Atlanta IIA Chapter – The Atlanta Conference, September 2021

Great information and I’m motivated to become a “Netflix Leader.”

Great presentation. A lot of good ideas to take back to the shop!

Loved it. So many great ideas!

~Auditing Around The Corner, Virtual Session Attendees, Long Island IIA Chapter – Hot Topics Conference, September 2021

 Jo is amazing teacher and advocate of the IA profession. I have very much enjoyed working with her over the past few years in the IIA Denver chapter where we both serve as chapter leaders. She puts so much energy into her professional and volunteer work. I always look forward to her training presentations because they are so engaging and on point. Jo cares so much about the IA profession and infuses liveliness and joy into her work, which translates to captivating presentations. I highly recommend her as a speaker for any event. 

~Board Chair and Past President, Denver IIA Chapter, September 2021

Jo Erven is a high-energy and extremely knowledgeable speaker & author who will deliver the goods on ethics! I recently saw her speak virtually to the Financial Planning Association of Colorado and she didn’t leave any stone unturned so the attendees left with a commonsense roadmap to ethics with actionable ideas on how to proceed with their practices. Ethics is a tough topic, but Jo is able to keep you interested with virtual polls, notable in-the-news examples, and a compelling approach to examining everyday ethical issues. I absolutely recommend Jo Erven as a presenter to your company or association. 

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Virtual Session Attendee, FPA of CO Event, July 2021

~Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Virtual Keynote Attendees, Arizona LeadingAge 2021 Annual Conference, June 2021

 I look forward to Jo’s monthly entertaining and engaging TQA live webinars! We just completed the session on Lean and I want everyone on our team to view it – it was that good! Jo challenges attendees to think outside the traditional audit role to create actionable items that can be implemented immediately. I would highly recommend Jo’s TQA webinar series, you won’t regret it!

~Internal Audit Manager, Total Quality Auditing® 2021 Webinar Series Participant, June 2021

I really enjoyed Jo’s session “Becoming The Everyday Ethicist” at the Northeast District 2 Conference this month. By far, she has been the best speaker I have heard at a virtual conference. One of the few who really got the audience engaged. Thank you!

~Director of Internal Controls, Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Virtual Session Attendee, IIA Northeast District 2 Conference, June 2021

This was the first ethics session I’ve been to that kept me alive and on the edge of my seat the entire time.

Great speaker, very engaging and entertaining. I was constantly writing down notes, documentary and book recommendations.

Wonderfully enthusiastic!! Loved the stories and the deep dives! Keeps the crowd involved and ethics fun!

~Internal Audit Professionals, Becoming The Everyday Ethicist® Virtual Session Attendees, IIA Northeast District 2 Conference, June 2021

 Jo did a fantastic job with her presentation “Total Quality Auditing” to our joint hybrid (virtual/in-person) event for Coastal GA, Middle GA, and CSRA chapters on Friday, May 7th. She presented an 8 hr CPE training for us. Compliments were pouring in all day from both in-person and virtual attendees. I would highly recommend you consider Jo for a training event at your chapter!

~Internal Audit Professional and IIA Coastal GA Chapter President – Total Quality Auditing® Hybrid Seminar, May 2021

Jo is an dynamic speaker. Audit training can often look the same from speaker to speaker but not with Jo. Her training with the Coastal Georgia IIA Chapter on Total Quality Auditing was relevant to today’s auditing practices Her presentations are engaging and requires active listening. You will not leave her presentations without a having tons of new ideas to bring to your audit shop.

~Internal Audit Professional, Total Quality Auditing® Hybrid Seminar Attendee, IIA IIA Coastal GA Chapter, May 2021

You came HIGHLY recommended from some of my professional peers, so I made sure to sign up for this webinar and I am so glad I did! They were right – you are GOOD! I absolutely LOVED your energy and obvious passion for continuous learning and growth. I got a lot out of the past two afternoons that I know I can (and will!) apply to my life professionally and personally as well. I also have a whole list of documentaries I cannot wait to watch!

You were great in all aspects! I enjoyed all info provided. I am not much of a book reader but you have intrigued me to read a few. I want to be a better manager, auditor, and professional! You gave me drive and encouragement again. Thank you!

I attended a session that Jo presented around the use of surveys in Internal Audit. It was a very informative session that was full of takeaways that were especially relevant during the remote environment we are currently working in. She did a great job tying it back to current research and other data points. Sessions with takeaways are extremely beneficial so that we can take the learnings back to apply which she provided plenty of post-session resources. She also practiced the main topic of her presentation by ending with a survey! I am looking forward to another future session by Jo!

I just wanted to say thanks for your training today. Your enthusiasm is contagious and appreciated. It’s not hard to get cynical when you’ve audited for ten years or even looked into the media for ten minutes! I love that there are still ethical humans in the world waving the flag. It’s hard sometimes to remember why we keep fighting when we feel alone in the battle. Thanks again.

Loved the presentation! It was very engaging and kept me thinking of how to improve myself. I enjoy the upbeat music and the time to think through the questions on our own without being in small groups sharing our thoughts. I do plan to read more after this, there’s so many perspectives and ways to learn. Thank you for being so engaging and making this a fun event!

~Internal Audit Professionals, The Everyday Ethicist® VIRTUAL Seminar Attendees, IIA Indianapolis, March 2021

Jo spoke on the topic of “The Everyday Ethicist” at our recent IIA Middle Georgia Chapter quarterly meeting. She was both professional and fun! The session was virtual, but also interactive, and our chapter members seemed to enjoy the topic and the presentation. We have received good feedback from several chapter members on the presentation. We look forward to inviting her back to speak at another event in the future.

Jo’s presentations are high energy and engaging! She always varies her content, so even if you think you have seen this presentation before – you haven’t! Great examples and resources to put in place are always covered.

Thank you, [Assessing and Auditing Ethics and Fraud Red Flags] was fantastic! Best ethics training I have been in so far! Two hours just flew by. Loved all the videos and thank you for all the recent relevant data and statistics. You should be presenting at GAM and the IIA conferences!
