This week on The Audit Podcast, we're kicking off our Retired CAE Summer Series with Bob Brewer, former Chief Audit Executive at Las Vegas Sands and former Chief Compliance Officer at Office Depot. With almost two years of retirement under his belt, Bob joins the show to reflect on his career from a fresh perspective. In this episode, he shares what he would do differently if he had the chance to start over, the political lessons he learned as a full-time executive, and the one thing he wishes every auditor would do. We also explore a fun thought experiment: If Bob wrote a book about his career, what would the first and last chapters be about? This series is all about gaining insights from those who have stepped back from the profession—and seeing things with a little more clarity.

This Podcast Is Episode 581, And It's About  The Importance Of Having A Contingency Plan For Construction Contractors In the construction industry, unexpected challenges can arise at any moment. Numerous factors, from material delays to unforeseen weather conditions, can disrupt project timelines and budgets.    From terrorism to fire, from extreme weather or earthquakes to cyber-attacks – how would your business cope if it was affected? Would your staff know what to do? Would you be able to keep working?   That's why a contingency plan is crucial for construction contractors. It is not just a precaution but a necessity. Small construction businesses need to be prepared for a range of scenarios. Your company could avoid significant setbacks or closure with a solid contingency plan.   Why contingency planning is crucial Contingency planning involves foreseeing potential risks and developing a strategic approach to mitigate their impact. For small business owners, this means safeguarding their assets, ensuring business continuity, and protecting their staff and customers. A well-thought-out plan can differentiate between a temporary disruption and a permanent shutdown. It helps contractors mitigate risks and minimize the impact of unexpected events on their projects. Here are a few reasons why having a contingency plan is essential for construction contractors: 1. Risk Management: A contingency plan enables contractors to identify potential risks and develop strategies to address them. By proactively planning for various scenarios, contractors can better protect their projects from cost overruns and delays. 2. Budget Protection: Unforeseen events can quickly eat into a project's budget. A contingency plan allows contractors to set aside funds specifically for addressing unexpected expenses, ensuring that the project stays on track financially. 3. Schedule Flexibility: Delays are not uncommon in the construction industry. A contingency plan allows contractors to adapt to unexpected schedule changes without derailing the project timeline. 4. Client Confidence: Clients appreciate contractors prepared for the unexpected. Demonstrating that you have a contingency plan can instill confidence in your clients and reassure them that you can manage unforeseen challenges. 5. Competitive Advantage: Navigating unexpected obstacles efficiently sets contractors apart in a competitive industry. A well-executed contingency plan can demonstrate a contractor's professionalism and commitment to delivering results, giving them a competitive edge in the market. Emerging issues and regulation changes Ever-evolving regulations demand greater transparency and accountability from small businesses. This is particularly relevant in preventing and addressing financial fraud, which remains a substantial risk. The increased scrutiny from regulatory bodies means companies must have robust monitoring systems and response strategies. Failure to comply not only puts your financial standing in jeopardy but also your business's reputation. Practical steps to develop your contingency plan Risk assessment: Identify all potential risks that could impact your business. This includes everything from natural disasters and cyber-attacks to key personnel suddenly becoming unavailable. Rank these risks based on their likelihood and potential impact. Document everything: Put together an operational guide for your business, outlining everything you would need to know to keep it running, such as who your suppliers are, how and when they are paid, and everything else that happens on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. As part of the same process, outline the roles and responsibilities of every senior staff member and scope out the daily and weekly tasks so a replacement could easily assume those responsibilities. Communication plan: Develop a communication plan to keep employees informed during and after a crisis. Consider using multiple channels such as email, phone calls, and social media to reach out to employees and customers. Develop response strategies: For each identified risk, develop a response strategy. This could involve establishing a crisis management team, setting up temporary operational sites, or creating data backup protocols. Ensure these strategies are detailed and cover all critical aspects of your business operations. Regular review and testing: A contingency plan is only effective if it's current and functional. Review and update your plan regularly, especially after significant changes in your business environment. Conduct drills and simulations to test your team's readiness and the effectiveness of your response strategies. Your contingency plan should be a living document that evolves with your business. Construction Client's Story (edited for brevity): On Sunday, July 27, 2008, around 6:30 p.m., my girlfriend and I had just returned from an overnight hiking trip. When we arrived home, we discovered that we had been robbed. We immediately called 911. As we walked through the house, we discovered that our computer and many other valuables were gone. The computer had all the company business on it. QuickBooks, invoices, all the subcontractors' info, and everything to keep the company books. We were at a loss for what to do. But as luck would have it, we had Randal DeHart as our accountant. He had all our info on a backup system somewhere on a huge server. So we called Randal to let him know that we would get a new computer as soon as the insurance company paid us. Randal called us the next day, July 28, 2008, and told us to come to his office. To our surprise, he had gone to Office Depot, purchased a new computer, loaded it with QuickBooks, and restored all our business information. We are so appreciative that Randal had our backs. We had told him that we would pay him for the computer as soon as possible, but you know what he said, No thanks are necessary; if we just pay forward, that's all he asked." How's that for a Good Accountant? Also, as a reminder that could be helpful in your planning: QuickBooks plans to stop selling several versions to new U.S. subscribers. The deadline to purchase new subscriptions to the listed products has been extended from July 31, 2024, to Sept. 30, 2024. QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus QuickBooks Desktop Premier Plus QuickBooks Desktop Mac Plus QuickBooks Desktop Enhanced Payroll We do our best to inform you of your options based on your construction company's needs and ensure you are alerted to fundamental software changes that may affect your construction business now or in the future. Although extended, we recommend checking and upgrading immediately to avoid service disruptions and workflow interruptions. Please plan accordingly or reach out if you need help. Final thoughts As a business owner, a lot of critical information exists only in your head. As the founder, you always know what's happening and how to do things, but what would happen if you weren't there? Developing a contingency plan is not just good practice; it's a critical component of your business strategy. By taking proactive steps today, you can secure the future of your small business. Plus, having a plan gives you peace of mind that everything could continue in your absence or without crucial team members. It also makes for a better-run and more organized business. Forcing yourself to have everything documented centrally builds a greater awareness of roles and responsibilities across the organization while making holidays less challenging!

One of the highest selling books of all time started out with just 15 copies printed at Office Depot. Paul Young wrote “The Shack” expecting to just give copies to his children — but the book quickly grew past even his wildest expectations. His journey to best-selling author is one that anybody can learn from, whether you're a high-performing CEO stuck in “production” mode, or simply anybody who wants to leave an impact on the world.    Paul Young is the author of “The Shack,” “Cross Roads,” “Eve,” and other books. He was born a Canadian and raised among a Stone Age tribe with his missionary parents in the highlands of what was Netherlands New Guinea (now West Papua). He suffered great loss as a child and young adult, and now enjoys the “wastefulness of grace” with his growing family in the Pacific Northwest.    Tune into the full conversation for more on the backstory behind one of the most successful fiction books of all time, Paul's definition of success (and why so many leaders fall short of that definition, even without realizing it), his top book recommendations, and a lot more.   Here's a Glimpse of What You'll Learn:    More about Paul's background, including what led him to writing his book, “The Shack,” which is one of the best-selling fiction books ever Why Paul believes “every human being is a story”  The problem with top-performing CEOs and other leaders who are production-oriented — at a cost  Why humans are fundamentally community-centered — and how many have forgotten about that foundation What the core pieces of success actually are, according to Paul Why the inspiration behind The Shack's plot and ideas was “incremental and painful” Why children are an expression of reality in people's lives More about the story behind Paul's “rock bottom” — and how he rebounded from that time The difference between forgiveness and reconciliation Paul's one piece of advice to start with for anyone struggling  A list of some of the most impactful books from Paul's life   Resources Mentioned in This Episode:  Paul's website Contact Paul directly at PO Box 339 Brush Prairie, WA - 98606 “The Shack: Where Tragedy Confronts Eternity” by William P.

This podcast episode features the buildings that served as the federal courthouse and post office in Miami from 1915 through the present day. The first courthouse was designed by Oscar Wenderoth in the early 1910s and opened at 100 NE First Avenue in downtown Miami. This building provided for all federal agencies including the courthouse, post office, and weather bureau from its opening until the peak of the Great Depression in 1933. When the city's federal business outgrew the original building, a new federal courthouse and post office building was constructed beginning in 1932 on the site of Miami's first school building known as the Miami Central Grammar School which opened on that site in the early 1900s. This edifice was designed by the architectural firm of Paist and Steward and opened two blocks north of the first building at 300 NE First Avenue in 1933. The second federal building was in use as a federal building from its opening until it was replaced in 2008 by today's Wilkie D Ferguson Jr. building at 400 North Miami Avenue.

When Desiree Boltos (literally) bumped into Dick Olmstead in Office Depot, Dick felt a spark. It didn't matter that he was 75 and she was 32. As the two of them talked, they discovered that they had something in common – they were both single. The two quickly started dating. Dick spent lavishly on Desiree. In just two years, he estimates he spent $380k on her. But as soon as the money ran out, so did she. Then Brandi tells us about two pre-teen girls who were both raped and murdered in the same area of Tacoma Washington, just five months apart. Michella Welch and Jennifer Bastian had both been riding their bikes when they were attacked and murdered. Unfortunately, both of their cases went cold. For years, investigators held the logical assumption that the two cases were linked. After all, the girls had died in such close proximity, in such a horrific and similar manner. Surely only one person could be responsible for the two crimes. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “The Sweetheart Swindler” episode of The Con The AARP podcast, “The Perfect Scam”, episodes “Sweetheart Swindler Part 1” and “Sweetheart Swindler Part 2” “Husband of ‘Sweetheart Swindler' sentenced to 85 years for bilking older people,” by Michael Levenson for the New York Times “Husband of ‘Sweetheart Swindler' sentenced to 125 years in scheme that targeted elderly,” by Elisha Fieldstadt “Husband of ‘Sweetheart Swindler' sentenced to 125 years in prison,” NBCDFW “‘Sweetheart swindler' sentenced to 85 years in prison,” by Deanna Boyd for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram “Woman accused of ‘sweetheart swindle,” Fort Worth Star Telegram “Woman found guilty in sweetheart swindler trial,” by Deanna Boyd for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram “Disabled victim of jailed ‘sweetheart swindler' still being targeted, sister says,” by Deanna Boyd for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram “Man arrested in Las Vegas, ran after his wife was sentenced,” by Deanna Boyd for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “Evil Was Watching” episode Dateline “Jennifer Bastian” chillingcrimes.com “Who Killed 2 Washington Pre-Teens Who Disappeared On Bike Rides Months Apart In 1986?” By Jill Sederstrom, oxygen.com “The man who killed Jennifer Bastian in 1986 in Tacoma has been sentenced” by Alexis Krell “Nurse Convicted in 1986 Rape and Murder of 12-Year-Old Girl Whose Body Was Found Dumped in a Ditch” by Chris Spargo, lawandcrime.com “'I'm so sorry,' Gary Hartman apologizes after conviction in 1986 death of Michella Welch” by Keith Eldridge and Danny Stritch, KOMO News YOU'RE STILL READING?
