Stop being a checklist zombie: A new podcast for auditors who want to add value

Auditors shouldn’t spend their careers ticking boxes—they should be delivering insights that move the business forward.

Introducing Audit Smarter, a new show from the Earmark team that helps practitioners upgrade from checklist managers to strategic advisors.

Hosted by brothers Sam Mansour, CPA and Abdullah Mansour, each episode tackles one real-world challenge and walks you through practical fixes you can start using on your next engagement.

Episode 1: “Common Audit Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them” is out now. Listen to learn:

  • Why risk assessments fail when they become mindless checklists

  • How meaningful client walkthroughs can surface hidden fraud risks

  • One planning step that saves hours (and headaches) down the road
