  • "After attending a local seminar - lead by Joan - on risk assessment, I encouraged my organization to hire Joan to assist us in training our audit team for the roll-out of our redeveloped risk and control assessment process.  Joan is a very knowledgeable, insightful, versatile, and engaging instructor.  She has a special knack for conveying the most boring, mundane, or technical information in an energetic, entertaining, and easily understandable manner.  I highly recommend her services!" - SARAH MARKS, Principal Internal Auditor, LACERA

  • “Joan's course was a big help, for me personally and my colleagues. In addition to the obvious value for audit and risk workshops, the skills and principles that Joan teaches are very useful in a broader context. They help you to become a better manager and a better communicator.”

Joan Pastor, PhD, a licensed industrial-organizational and clinical psychologist, is well known in her expertise on the "people" aspects of auditing and of managing technical professionals.  She also has helped shape the audit profession with her involvement in risk, compliance and audit methodologies that require expertise in organizational development, change and management.  

Her training programs alone range from developing people skills through interviewing, preventing and resolving conflict, influencing and negotiations, developing collaborative and value-based auditing, facilitation and presentation skills;  to using psychology to understand and target fraud, unethical behavior, and white collar crime;  to solidifying audit methodology and procedures through business process management, implementing risk assessments, and reviewing and upgrading of operational infrastructure and systems.

Joan  has much experience working at the board level, including Audit Committees and Boards of Directors.  She was given the Excellence in Journalism award for her article (co-authored with John Morrow, CPA of PWC) on The Eight Habits of Effective Audit Committees.
