Internal Auditor Training Career Paths And Educational Requirements

By Michael Taylor


There are a number of young people who excel at math, problem solving, and analytics. The majority of them want to pursue these interests in adulthood. Some aspire to become tax advisers or business owners. Others are more interested in the relative security a job such as a CPA provides. A small number teach in high schools, colleges, and universities. Guidance counselors occasionally talk to students about the possibility of pursuing internal auditor training after obtaining their initial college degree.

If you are one of the students who finds math and critical analysis interesting, you might want to learn more about auditing. Auditors work as independent contractors who are hired by companies to evaluate their procedures and policies and to minimize their risk and reduce waste, in time and money. Other auditors work as full time consultants for companies, managing and evaluating marketplace and economic trends. They may also be involved in fraud investigations.

External auditors have different jobs that sometimes overlap with auditors working inside companies. These professionals are concerned with the financial reports that go to shareholders who are outside company management. Inside auditors work with management within the company to make the business run more efficiently and more profitably while still meeting all required regulations and laws.

Most successful auditors have advanced degrees. They usually have four year degrees in business or accounting. Many companies prefer auditors to also have a masters degree in business with auditing accreditation. There are a number of excellent colleges and universities that offer auditing courses.

There are a number of different directions an individual can go within the auditing field. They can decide to specialize in fraud management for instance. With federal regulations getting more complicated along with advancements in technology, this is a fast growing field. Investigating corporate fraud normally requires a minimum of a four year degree. Most successful fraud auditors have masters degrees in business or accounting.

Some companies employ full time auditing managers. Most of them require a job candidate to have the minimum of a bachelor's degree in finance, business, or accounting. They work with upper management and executives to ensure operating funds are distributed in the most efficient and cost effective manner. Some of these auditors are in charge of employee management as well.

If you are someone who is interested in this type of career but lacks the time or the means for an advanced degree, you may be a good candidate for an auditing clerk position. These professionals work with accountants and bookkeepers to make certain all company financial records are accurate and complete. They may be required to work behind the scenes to double check the work of other employees. Some companies require an associate's degree for consideration. Others will accept a high school diploma.

Auditing can be an exciting and rewarding career for the right person. If you want to learn more, you should contact a school counselor for more information.
