If I wanted to pivot from traditional auditing to a more niche area like forensic accounting or IT auditing, what certifications or experiences would you recommend to make that transition seamless?

I'm in IT Audit - would recommend getting the CISA (or CIA, for more general internal auditing)!

If you are looking to go deep into understand tech and or do hands on tech work I would not recommend getting into IT Auditing. It's very repetitive and is about 90 percent project management. Only positive is it pays well. Cisa is a great cert if you want to do tech audit and since you have audit experience you will get picked up.

Get your CFE you'll have a lock on jobs
