Meet Our 2024-2025 Staff Fellow
Kevin Reinhardt was an IAASB Staff Fellow during 2024-2025, seconded from PwC. Read Kevin's bio here.
What was your ‘day job’ prior to being seconded to IAASB?
Before the Fellowship, I served as a Director performing audits of privately held companies. I also played a key role in the New York Metro Market’s transformation efforts, helping audit teams adopt and deploy new technological solutions.
Can you describe your role on the IAASB team?
My role focused on the IAASB’s technology initiatives. This included both strategic projects and detailed assessments of standards and non-authoritative materials. I contributed through stakeholder engagement and outreach, desktop research, coordination with other IAASB project teams, and drafting publications.
Which project was your favorite to work on?
My favorite project was the final one I supported: the Technology Quality Management Workstream. In Q4 2025, our team hosted eight global roundtables, bringing together over 250 highly respected and diverse stakeholders across eight distinct jurisdictions to explore emerging technologies and their impact on the audit and assurance ecosystem.
How has this staff fellowship helped you as a professional?
This Fellowship has allowed me to connect with hundreds of professionals from around the world – connections I never imagined forming. I’ve had the opportunity to present to the IAASB and contribute to papers at every meeting over the past 18 months, which significantly improved my professional communication skills. And of course, my understanding of the auditing standards has grown exponentially!
What knowledge are you taking back with you?
While the knowledge I’ve gained is extensive, I’ll highlight two key areas here: First, a deeper understanding of emerging technologies that are shaping our profession today and in the future. Second, insight into the opportunities and challenges that they present to auditors, regulators, standard setters, clients, and so on.
What was your favorite part about working with the IAASB?
The most rewarding part was connecting with such a diverse group of individuals. From the staff team to board members, technical advisors, and external stakeholders, I learned a tremendous amount in these interactions. Many of the relationships that were formed will last well beyond the end of this secondment.
Do you have advice for someone seeking a secondment with the IAASB?
Don’t be intimidated if you’re not an expert on the standards or what the IAASB’s exact role is. While a foundational understanding is helpful, the IAASB values – and depends on – a broad range of perspectives from its staff and stakeholders. Whatever your background, trust that your viewpoint is both relevant and valuable to the IAASB’s efforts.
What’s next in your career?
I’ve returned to a client-facing role, back serving private companies and continuing to drive meaningful technological adoption to benefit both our firm and clients. I’m also excited to remain engaged with the IAASB as a member of its Technology Consultation Group in 2026.
