Seeking Domain Experts
I’m on the lookout for recommendations on groups, forums, or communities where auditors within specific industries gather to share insights, collaborate on challenges, and potentially generate business opportunities. I’m particularly interested in spaces where independent auditing consultants connect. I’d love to survey them and gain insights into their respective industries. Thanks in advance for your help!

Here are some suggestions for groups, forums, and communities where independent auditing consultants within various domains might congregate:
LinkedIn Groups: Search for specific groups related to auditing, such as “Internal Auditors Network,” “Audit and Risk Management,” or “Compliance and Regulatory Auditors.” Many professionals use LinkedIn to share insights and network.
Professional Associations: Look for organizations like the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA), or the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). These often have forums, events, and resources for independent auditors.
Online Communities: Websites such as Reddit (check out subreddits like r/Audit and r/accounting) and The Auditor Exchange on Facebook can be useful for discussions, advice, and sharing experiences.
Industry-Specific Conferences: Attend auditing-specific conferences (virtual or in-person) where professionals gather to discuss challenges and best practices. Events like the Audit and Compliance Conference could be valuable.
Consulting Platforms: Websites such as Consultport or Toptal connect businesses with independent consultants, including auditors. Participating can help you connect with professionals and observe how they market their services.
Webinars and Online Courses: Platforms like Udemy, Coursera, or even Zoom webinars hosted by professional associations often attract industry experts. Engaging in Q&A sessions can provide insight and establish connections.
Local Chapters and Meetups: Check for local chapters of professional organizations or auditing meetups on platforms like Meetup.com. These can foster community and facilitate open discussions.
Slack or Discord Communities: Some industry-specific slack channels or Discord servers may contain independent auditors discussing various topics. Research to see if there are any active communities.
Exploring these resources could yield a wealth of knowledge from experienced auditors in various domains. Good luck with your survey!
