WhO WE ARE
Robert L. Mainardi, CFSA, CRMA, MBA, Six Sigma
After 25 years of working in the Internal Audit profession in the financial services industry, Robert launched a company which develops and facilitates custom internal audit training. He also partners with clients to strengthen team communications, relationship building and value production. Remote training is a high priority and focus of Robert’s endeavors. His position on implementation/adoption is that technology must play a role, but innovation has little value if it cannot be successfully integrated into traditional settings. As a complement to his professional endeavors and commitment to the IA industry, he created CACM SOLUTION.

Before that, his experience included leadership roles as Vice President of Internal Audit for Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company, Senior Audit Manager for The Vanguard Group, Audit Consultant for Aetna, and Audit Director for Prudential Insurance.
As a professional speaker and consultant, Robert leads - and creates - tailored client programs to develop and maintain world-class internal audit functions from audit methodology development up to and including CAE reporting which encompassed all critical soft skills. This year highlights the release of the CACM RISK IQ and enhanced AUDIT RISK BAROMETER; innovative discovery applications designed to quickly evaluate a department’s health, stability, approach, and execution across critical categories.
Robert’s acumen and experience in audit methodologies have been recognized by Wiley & Sons with two publications - HARNESSING THE POWER OF CONTINUOUS AUDITING and BEYOND AUDIT.
