Hear from Lauren Allnutt, Chief Audit Executive
"My team, I’m proud to say, encompasses more than 200 people across eight countries. Like inspectors who check a home’s structure, exterior, roof, fire safety, electrical, heating or cooling system, plumbing and elevators, Audit routinely “inspects” all aspects of our business to ensure we are operating soundly."
