Possibly testing areas of the business that would help you really dive in to learning your new company. Ex. Inventory if it’s a lot different than previous industries you’ve been in /tested previously
I was in a similar situation. My goals (over 12 months) were
1) manage 1 area of the audit process 100% by myself (ie fixed assets, inventory, payroll, etc). This might be a good stretch goal
2) learn a new area and share responsibility for that portion of the audit (ie fixed assets, inventory, payroll, etc)
3) I saw your note about CPEs. My goal was to complete 15 hours in audit topics such as; fraud case studies, cybersecurity, ethics, etc.
4) propose 1 policy change and partner with the stakeholder in my organization to implement. In IA we cannot write policy but we can provide feedback during the drafting stage
5) if your organization has significant operations in a non-English speaking country a goal could be to take duolingo or mango for that country's language
Good luck!
Forgot to add that this is an industry position. My boss seems like the type to encourage growth, so some of his examples included completing 15 CPE credits including 1-2 related to anti bribery. He also gave an example goal of listening to the earnings call every quarter. So things that would benefit me as an IA that are also measurable goals.
