Sam explains how audit firms can break the cycle of repeated mistakes by systematically capturing lessons learned and turning them into actionable improvements. The conversation covers everything from individual preparers documenting their own review comments to firm-wide post-engagement debriefs that identify patterns and drive changes to templates, checklists, and procedures. By building a culture where every audit strengthens the firm, teams can reduce wasted hours, improve quality, and create a less stressful work environment.(00:07) - Turning Audit Pain Points into Progress
