About
Robert Craycraft ‘87 entered Miami as a nontraditional student in his mid-twenties, switching gears after 5 years in a different career path. Bob was able to complete the classes he needed to take the CPA Exam within two years on an exacting schedule: “Graduation week I took my finals on Monday and Tuesday, the CPA Exam (all four parts) on Wednesday–Friday, graduated that weekend, and began working at Deloitte (assurance) on Monday!”
In the 34 years since graduation, he has worked for only three companies: 5 years at Deloitte, 14 years at Fifth Third Bank, and 15 years at Cintas, where he is currently VP of Internal Audit and Chief Compliance Officer. Bob manages all of Cintas’ internal audit activities, including policy-based corporate audits, SOX audits, and payment card industry (PCI) audits. “In my Chief Compliance Officer role, I work with compliance groups across the enterprise to help ensure we adhere to compliance requirements that affect the company.”
“There is great satisfaction that comes from helping ensure that the Cintas Culture not only remains intact – but continues to flourish. At Cintas, Internal Audit works with the business to ‘get better together.’ It is a partnership that requires considerable effort – and yields significant dividends.”
