Our History
In 2014, The Audit Library’s Co-Founder, Olivia Whipple was working as a Senior Auditor at a Credit Union with over $1.3 billion in assets and was promoted to the Chief Audit Executive role. Despite her experience as a CIA, a former Audit Senior at a CPA firm, and over 15 years of experience in the financial services industry, she was overwhelmed with tasks and expected to “make do” with limited resources. It seemed like there were never enough hours in the day to keep up with her corporate responsibilities, managerial duties, and regulatory requirements, all while meeting auditing standards.
So, Olivia searched for a way to outsource documents, such as the audit programs, charters, policies, and workpapers that she was spending a large amount of time creating from scratch. Unable to find a solution that was affordable, user-friendly, industry-focused, reliable, or regularly updated, she decided to create a solution that could benefit Internal Auditors everywhere.
In 2018, she called John Kaneklides, a former Internal Audit colleague, and explained her idea: a website where auditors can download an easily customizable version of every document they need, all for a reasonable price. He was excited to work with Olivia again and bring his own expertise to help create an invaluable resource for Internal Auditors. And thus, The Audit Library was born!
To this day, The Audit Library remains a boutique firm. As a result, you can rest easy knowing exactly who created the materials in the Library and whom you will be working with on consulting engagements. Olivia and John are passionate about Internal Auditing and helping elevate the profession within the financial services industry.
This is the website they needed as Internal Audit leaders and now they are excited to share it with you!
