I enjoyed the class. Your delivery was unique/informal from other presentations I have been a part of and it was effective in delivering the message. I got a lot out of the last two and a half days.

In our Assessing Risk class last week, I had a gentlemen attend and state that he attended a similar class of ours seven years ago and it gave him a ton of insight on how they eventually set up their ERM program – always good to know that you are making a difference!

I just wanted to drop a quick note saying thank you for yesterday’s training. The group was the most genuine and engaged I’ve experienced – very neat to be a part of it. In our small group discussions, it was so rich in dialogue – I will use it in my daily life many times over.

I’ve been a member of the IAFCI since 1996 and had the pleasure to attend the IAFCI Training Conference in Fort Worth last month.
I really enjoyed your presentations on “ Practical Ethics part 1 & 2”. It was hands-down the best ethics session I have ever attended.

Just wanted to extend thanks for your presentation on Communication. I found that session to be among the top three sessions of the week, including the keynote speakers.

I recently attended the Soup to Nuts: The Fraud Risk Assessment Process class in Boston. I would like to share that this was one of the very few classes I truly enjoyed as it exceeded my expectations both in content and experience as a “student”. The material for the class is shared prior to the class which allows you to better prepare for the topics of discussion. I related to the material both on a professional and personal level – fraud can happen anywhere! The class was very interactive giving everyone an opportunity to learn and network with one another. Danny Goldberg, the instructor, is an extraordinary instructor. He engages and challenges everyone, thinks outside the box by looking for ways to ensure everyone’s energy (both physical and mental) is up the whole time, by having stories and examples that everyone can relate to, and even offers prizes for best participants/teams as an additional incentive. I would love and look forward future classes taught by Danny G.!

Danny is a great speaker and the review of the audit process is critical because many times, we might think we are being valuable to our institution, but we have some areas that we may lack. The discussions with the audience were helpful because I got to hear similarities and differences among audit shops because everyone has certain ways that they conduct their processes. As still being fairly new to internal audit, this session really opened my eyes more to the audit process and the ways that we should carry ourselves among our colleagues in the institution.
ACUA Annual Conference (Miami) - 9/2016
I loved Danny’s session! He facilitated open discussion about corporate culture, which helped us all apply the lessons learned to our unique situations and organizations.
