So I’m probably thinking too much. But I’m looking to leave public accounting and have an opportunity with internal audit. I want to make sure where I go I have good opportunities to advance and if needed be marketable to other companies. Do you think internal audit makes you more or less marketable to other opportunities in the future?

I just started in an IA role and think it will make me more marketable in what I what to achieve, but if you want to one day be a controller or CFO then I think it could make you less marketable.

I’ve been an in IA most of my career. Absolutely less marketable. Especially if you work in multiple companies that have no manager level. I have been pigeon hold in this field for nearly two decades. If there is no manager level role, you are skipped over for any director level roles elsewhere.

My co's IA dept is very new and my boss has asked me to look into a format for a memo we would write to a process owner to make a process recommendation. Not a formal finding in an audit report but more of a process recommendation. Do other companies have something similar?

How do people in the IA profession motivate themselves? Personally, I love the fact that we are exposed to different business processes (rather than a specific number or subject matter), also I actually like the fact we are a bit more creative than the typical “in our less than humble opinion we think this number is not too incorrect” approach adopted by our external counterparts.
