Thinking about leaving Big 4 and going into internal audit (currently about to be a Senior in Assurance).

I like working on controls/SOX much more than substantive. I thought about switching internally to advisory and doing internal audit but not sure what the best move is.

I don’t see myself ever doing a technical accounting role or any financial accounting roles. Ideally I would like to transition to more business operations type of roles throughout my career. Any advice is appreciated!

Find a company with a well build out internal audit department (more likely to occur at huge companies) and get a feel for if they place people in other areas of the business after a few years

If you want to move into operations, you’ll have to do more than controls though. Internal audit does operational and financial audits in addition to controls

Yeah! One of the companies I have been interviewing with sounds exactly like this. Large public tech company that usually promotited within. Scope seemed to be 50:50 sox and business audits

My path was a few years at an external audit firm, 6 months as a contracted internal auditor for a F500, and then leveraging that experience to get my current position at Citi.

My advice would be that contracting positions sometimes can get your foot in the door at places that maybe wouldn't hire you since you're low on experience. It's how I got into banking when I previously had no experience.

Umm big clients won’t be doing substantive testing. You could try getting on a G360 client and see how that goes?

Huh? That's not true at all

If you like controls do IT audit, all controls work
