Employee Spotlight: A Day in the Life of an Internal Audit Director

An inside look at the work of Farm Credit East Internal Audit Director Daquan Holmes and how collaboration, risk awareness and strong controls support the organization.

The role of internal audit

Internal audit helps identify risks, strengthen controls and support effective governance. The role combines strategic conversations, operational review and collaboration across departments.

Collaboration is central

A strong audit function depends on communication with leaders and teams throughout an organization. Understanding how different functions work together helps identify practical improvements.

Supporting the future

Sound internal controls and proactive risk management contribute to a safe and sustainable organization, ultimately helping the association continue serving Northeast agriculture.

Farm Funders's team of agricultural advisors can help producers connect these insights to a broader financial plan, including budgeting, financing and risk-management tools.

Farm Funders's whole-farm, advisory approach connects programs, insurance and financial strategy into a clear path forward. Producers are encouraged to reach out to their advisors as they evaluate the opportunities and challenges discussed above.

At Farm Funders, we are committed to being a trusted advisor to Northeast agricultural producers, helping you navigate uncertainty and strengthen your operation for the future.
