E2 (EN) | Receipts and revelations for a good night's sleep: The audit (Dudded)

Why do audits keep so many civil society leaders awake at night? And how can organizations move from fear and uncertainty to confidence and peace of mind when facing an audit?In this episode, Lucía sits down with Lucía (Lucy) Albarracín, a certified public accountant from Colombia who has experienced audits from both sides—as an auditor and as part of the civil society organizations (CSO)  being audited. Drawing on her experience with CSOs, international cooperation, and government, Lucy shares practical lessons on preparing for audits, improving communication across teams, building policies that fit organizational realities, and turning audit findings into opportunities for growth. Together, they explore how organizations can humanize audit processes, strengthen donor relationships, and ultimately sleep a little better when audit season arrives.*Lucy appears in this episode in her personal capacity. The opinions she expresses in this podcast are her personal views.
