Leigh P. Goller

Leigh Goller is the Chief Audit, Risk and Compliance Officer for Duke University and Duke University Health System. She is an advisor and resource to senior leadership as it considers issues of controls, compliance and risk across the Duke entities. She has institutional responsibility for directing and coordinating an integrated internal audit and risk management function, both of which have enterprise-wide scope, and a federated university compliance function, as well as accountability to enhance the ability of these functions to advance the mission of Duke. Internal audit and compliance reviews make policy, process and internal control recommendations that help Duke reduce the risks of unintended operational outcomes, financial fraud or misappropriation, compliance violations and governance breakdowns. The risk management program raises awareness of the threat and opportunity environment while focusing leadership on risk tolerance decisions that enable sound business and risk management strategies.
