What’s the hierarchy in internal audit? It looks like director requires only about 10 years of experience. What’s after that? Do people just stay at that level for a while?

Any good books/reads to learn aspects of Account Management / Engagement Management in context of tech consulting?

Are there additional responsibilities once promoted to Project Delivery Manager?

Leaving consulting to follow my dreams, tired of pretending to enjoy this ish..

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago. So far they seem to only want to staff me on projects with a heavy focus on technical accounting and audit. Spoke to a lot of others who have left and seems like being pigeonholed or staffed on projects not related to the actual core work of the practice is the common reason. I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...

Hello everyone! This is my first time posting since joining this platform. I’m interested in connecting with someone who is open to HR mentoring. I’ve been in HR now for about six years and have never had a mentor. I’ve been relying mostly on SHRM and other people in the company for feedback. Even if it’s for feedback, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

Has anyone signed a contract to work for X amount of years with the government and then broken that contract? Are there repercussions?

Looking forward to getting started with the Data Science field. mainly 4 types of job profiles in order of prestige :

Data Engineer, Data Analyst, Data Scientist and ML/AI Engineer.

Really confused what to look for, can be a fair fit for any of the profiles- would love to be a Data scientist - it deals with NLP, advance statistics and analytics etc but Data Scientist as fresher?

Application dev YOE -1.5, completed PG program in Data Science, new to it. Should I try for Data analyst first?

Can someone give me an overview of what Internal Audit does? Received an offer for IA and currently work in External Audit. Want to know the differences between the two.

Is anybody familiar with the CIA challenge exam?

I am currently a CPA debating if I should work towards a CIA certification.

If I read this correctly I can forgoe some of the CIA exam since I am already a CPA. Is this correct?

How many hours a week (average) do internal auditors work? Is there busy periods of the year like public accounting ?

Please share experience with Agile in IA. Seems like a lot of time spent in meetings.

What sampling methodology do you use and what’s the source? I’m part of a new internal audit department for a recent ipo company and we need to create a sampling methodology from scratch

Has anyone taken the CIA exam? If so what study materials did you use?

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?

Does anyone work for a large privately held company that is using their IA strategically to identify risks specific to the current pandemic? If so, what company and what are you looking at?

So I’m probably thinking too much. But I’m looking to leave public accounting and have an opportunity with internal audit.

Would you leave external audit for internal audit even if there is no base increased, just sign on bonus? Been having an awful year round busy season and I’m just done. I have heard from multiple sources that WLB is better.
