Packaging Corporation of America Internal Audit Vice President Yulia Gurman’s main message to her team is to learn the business, and to look at things holistically and question if we need to keep doing things how they were always done. The most value internal audit provides to the company is “assurance that everyone understands what our policies and procedures are and that they are actually following and executing on them,” says Gurman.  

In this profile, Gurman explains how her team’s long-running guest auditor program has helped raise internal audit’s visibility with the business at large.
