Content: Job Types
The internal audit hierarchy is based on knowledge, experience, and expertise. Entry-level Internal Auditors
This is typically the job that new graduates will have when they start their career in auditing. Entry-level auditors are hired to review and align the processes of the organization with its objectives. They are usually tasked to collect, analyse, and examine company records to ensure compliance. Regarding educational background, organisations prefer those who have a Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, computer information systems, or business administration, and those with a professional certification such as the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) certification. Senior Internal Auditors
Senior Internal auditors are usually the ones who understand the ins and outs of their organisation and are familiar with the industry’s best practices. Thus, they are tasked to provide value-added solutions to any problem that the company encounters. They mainly work with management staff to mitigate risks, monitor internal controls, and provide feedback about audit plans. For this position, at least five years’ relevant experience is required. Internal Audit Managers
Internal audit managers supervise entry-level and senior internal editors.
