Rodney Piltz is a senior audit partner in EY Australia’s Assurance, driving the adoption of data, automation and emerging technologies across the practice. With more than 35 years’ experience, he advises boards, audit committees and executive teams on financial reporting, governance and risk. He primarily serves large, capital-intensive organisations operating in highly regulated environments.
His work spans industrials, energy, mining and metals and infrastructure, sectors characterised by global operations, complex operating models and significant investment programmes.
Rodney is contributing to the evolution of audit in sectors defined by capital investment, long asset lifecycles and regulatory oversight.
Throughout his career at Ernst & Young, he held the roles of Victorian Assurance Leader and Oceania Assurance Digital Leader, combining audit leadership with broader firm leadership, including serving as Melbourne Office Managing Partner, where he led a large, multi-disciplinary business through a period of significant change.
He is an associate member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia, a registered company auditor, and a former board member of the Australian Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce from Melbourne University.
How Rodney is shaping the future with confidence
Rodney works with organisations where complexity is structural rather than incidental. Across industrials, energy, mining and infrastructure, businesses often operate through multi-entity models, joint ventures and interconnected systems – creating fragmented views of performance, risk and financial outcomes.
His work addresses the financial reporting implications of major projects, impairment, provisioning, climate considerations and governance requirements deriving from cyber risk and AI-enabled systems. This helps enable Boards and executive teams to better understand risk and respond with greater confidence in complex and dynamic environments.
As technology reshapes how organisations operate, he is focused on how audit can keep pace, shifting effort away from manual processes towards areas that require deeper analysis and judgement.
