About the Speaker:
Al is a CPA and began his career at Arthur Andersen & Co where he was an Audit Manager. He joined Associates First Capital Corp., an $80 billion financial services company (acquired by Citi), where he was Senior Vice President of Corporate Audit. Associates utilized many best practices in the internal audit department and was an early implementer of control self assessment (CSA) which was used successfully in all phases of audit work. He is currently with Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) where he is Director of Internal Audit. DART has adopted a COSO based approach to audits which utilizes a risk /control matrix. This approach would allow for an easy transition to CSA in the future.

He is on the Internal Audit Advisory Boards of the University Of North Texas and the University of Texas at Dallas.
