Exploring This Job

A good foundation for a future auditing career is a part-time or summer job in a retail business, working at the cash register, or even pricing products as a stockperson. Another way to explore the field is by volunteering as treasurer for a student organization, which will help you learn about financial planning and money management. It may be possible to gain some experience by volunteering with local groups such as churches and small businesses. Also keep up with industry news by visiting the Web sites and reading the publications of associations for auditors. For example, visit the Resources section of the Institute of Internal Auditors' Web site for useful information, https://www.theiia.org/en/resources.

Talk to auditors about their work. Your business teacher or school career counselor can help arrange information interviews with auditors in different specialties.
