I went from full business-side IA to a hybrid business process / IT internal audit role - happy to answer any questions!

I’m fully into accounting/tax/finance for 5yrs before moving into IT audit (3yrs ago). I can say that you need to trust the process while moving into the new role. Everything will be different from what you’ve previously done before. Zero knowledge on IT audit but I’ve come a long way now and so far I’m loving it and still learning along the way.

Moved into it 6 months into starting at my firm, coming from an accounting background. You need a CPA to sign a SOC report, so it's not that rare. Start by finding whoever does that in your firm and asking to grab a coffee or lunch.

Why would you want to? Lol

I'm doing IA anyways. Might as well get extra $$$

Currently a staff in audit - 6 months in. Glad to be learning a lot, and have had a generally positive experience at the firm other than a few interactions, some tough busy season nights. Really been intrigued by TAS/M&A, however, and had a few convos with a senior in TAS i know at the firm. It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?
