The Next Generation

of Internal Audit

Why do you choose to pursue a career

in internal audit?

Because of the opportunities the profession could provide

I was attracted to the idea of traveling and not sitting at a

desk in a cube day all day, but I quickly developed a passion

for the profession after an internship experience and I

became active in my school’s IAEP Program

What is the most important advice

you were given ?

“Don’t be afraid to ask questions.” I have found it useful in

many different aspects in my life Not being afraid to ask

questions has helped me find my confidence and become a

better leader

Do you have any other degrees,

certifications, or licenses?

I have passed the CIA and CISA exams but am not yet

certified I also intend to earn a CISSP certification

What is your dream job? Why?

I want to work with elephants at an elephant sanctuary

This has little to do with my professional interests or career

goals, but I have always been fond of elephants and think

it would be a humbling and rewarding experience to work

with such gentle creatures The great thing about being an internal auditor is that I can develop a skill set that will be applicable across many different fields and jobs

Who are your personal role models? Why?

As cliché as it sounds, my parents and my brother My parents faced many challenges emigrating from Vietnam and establishing themselves in the United States Despite their hardships and the obstacles before them, they never gave

up By comparison, my challenges seem small and trivial Their tenacity inspires me, and their love and support has made me who I am today My brother inspires me because

of how he overcame his own struggles to become successful

in his career He was the biggest influence in getting me interested in internal audit and introducing me to the program Without his influence, I would not have found such

a passion for internal audit

“The great thing about being

an internal auditor is that I can develop a skill set that will be applicable across many different fields and jobs”.

The IIA works year-round to help cultivate the best and

brightest internal audit students around the world through its

Internal Auditing Education Partnership (IAEP) Program with

colleges and universities.

Each year students and educators from IAEP schools and employers are invited to participate in the IAEP Leadership and

Networking Retreat to fill the employment pipeline with highly qualified candidates Employers who have participated in

previous retreats have high praise for this one-of-a-kind event which:

n Reduces the costs and simplifies the logistics

associated with traveling to multiple locations to

recruit qualified talent

n Gives students and employers alike valuable

face-time in a no-pressure setting

n Introduces employers to impeccably trained students ready to hit the ground running on day one

of the job

The spirit and reality of the event is best

captured by Dawn E Jones, CIA, a Deloitte

& Touche director who says,

“THIS PROGRAM GIVES US GREAT ACCESS TO WHAT WE CONSIDER THE BEST OF THE BEST IN THE INTERNAL AUDIT PROFESSION.”

Future Demand The global market demand for internal auditors far exceeds the professional supply today It is unprecedented and is expected to increase annually as public and private companies and government entities continue to expand their audit needs in response to corporate reforms.

The Skills Today’s employers are seeking candidates who have studied or majored in a wide variety of subjects such

as engineering, economics, marketing, computer science, management information systems, finance,

or business and internal auditing In addition to the formal education requirements, internal auditors need to be well-rounded, logical, business-oriented professionals And since internal auditors work with many people on all levels, exemplary interpersonal and written and oral communication skills are essential Hands-on Training

The best way to learn more about internal auditing is

to sponsor a student internship program An internship will provide candidates with special insights into internal auditing, its working relationships and job-related responsibilities that textbooks cannot offer, not to mention invaluable personal and professional contacts
