No two people are alike, however, we tend to lead and make decisions with our biases driving our actions and behaviors impacting audits and fraud investigations. What many miss out in making those decisions is the consideration for individual differences and backgrounds. To aid in creating cohesion among a diverse workforce, team connecting with colleagues of various backgrounds, we must understand and address unconscious beliefs that motivate our daily actions.

Key Takeaways: • Recognize unconscious bias resides in everyone. • Bias affects how we perceive, evaluate, and react to others which translates into how we lead, navigate teams and interact with clients. • Proactively seeking our personal and professional blind spots is a necessity. • Addressing bias requires systems to slow us down to track our thinking and responses.
