What’s the career path for internal auditor? Heard people saying it’s not as good as Sec reporting accountant. Currently a Senior 2 in assurance and looking for the change. However, not a fan of accounting like 606 memo and leases etc. So I am concerned about my future….

I like organizations that use IA to have you gain an overall knowledge of the business and then transfer you to operations, compliance or other risk functions…Big Banks and F100

Internal audit will lead you to more internal audit

In all realness…you can stay in IA and work up to CAE but you can honestly do a lot with it if you build the right relationships and transfer internally into something else. It’s a good chance to see a lot and figure it out.

Yeah, definitely get out of audit. IA can be a good path into risk management or compliance roles. I started in IA as an accounting major, but have transitioned to doing cyber compliance work.
