This week’s episode, we welcome back Justin Silberlust, Associate Director of Internal Audit at Oppenheimer & Co, and his brother, Dr. Jared Silberlust, an internal medicine physician.

In this episode, Jared and Justin examine the "SPIKES" methodology. Originally developed for physicians to deliver bad news in a more positive light, this technique has found valuable applications in the auditing world, especially when communicating findings. They explore how auditors can incorporate SPIKES into their processes to handle tough conversations with stakeholders more effectively.
