Jack Kristan Related Seminars and Products

As the automotive and manufacturing leader for the firm's risk and accounting advisory practice, I focus on developing tailored risk management, internal audit, and compliance solutions to gain greater insights for my clients. Most of them are publicly traded organizations and Japanese-owned businesses with significant international operations. Additionally, I lead our practice's efforts with family office clients, focusing on internal controls and operational matters.

My clients appreciate that I don't simply tell them what they should do; instead, I work with them to come to a mutually agreed-upon solution that has buy-in at multiple levels in the organization. More often than not, this approach provides the greatest path to sustainable success.

The mantra, "There has to be a better way" has always guided my client work. I believe there are always alternative ways to solve a problem, no matter how difficult the situation. It's a philosophy I've tried to impart to my team. They know me for finding solutions that consider the needs of the business first, which is not necessarily the easiest path for an auditor. I work with a talented team of professionals, and I'm proud that we're recognized as a dynamic, forward-thinking risk management team.
