For over 25 years, Prescott has provided consulting, auditing, and analytical services to all kinds of organizations.

​

After receiving a BA in Liberal Arts & Communications from Austin College, he began his career in Dallas as a small-business consultant.  He and his wife moved to Colorado at the end of the 80’s where he received an MBA from Colorado State University.  From there he launched a marvelously diverse career, uniformly centered on organizational improvement.

​

Prescott has done work from every “column.”  In addition to his internal auditing career, he was a production floor manager, ran the treasury and investment operations for Colorado’s third-largest city, and even helped colleges and universities in the U.S. and Canada develop strong, effective brands and marketing programs.

​

In auditing, he was part of the global audit leadership team for the 2nd largest property & casualty insurance company in the United Kingdom, and worked to build world-wide audit process consistency from their London headquarters.  He built their U.S. IT Audit practice and created a team that provided high-value controls consulting for new projects and initiatives.

​

In 2009, he became the first Chief Internal Auditor for Denver Water, the most significant water utility in the western U.S., and over a 10 year period, helped it dramatically transform its operating and control environment. 

​

It was at Denver Water, while immersed in the organization’s uncompromising and highly successful “Lean journey” that Active Auditing was born.
