Description
Summary:For those outside the internal auditing profession, the natural questions are: Who are these people? What kind of work do they do? How much are they paid? For those within the profession of internal auditing, some logical questions might include: What forces are influencing our jobs? Are internal auditors considered to be valued consultants to management? To whom do they report? How does one's employment situation compare with others? The data compiled for this article should provide meaningful and useful answers to many of these questions. These professionals are obviously well qualified and hold many professional designations. They tend to be relatively satisfied with their positions as indicated by a lower turnover rate and the belief that service as an internal auditor leads to a higher-level position in the organization. Stability, advancement and opportunity appear to be key factors present in local and state internal auditing.
