What is internal auditing and why is it important to me?
Internal auditors work in all types of organizations, including financial institutions, manufacturing and retailing companies, healthcare providers, and government agencies. In addition, internal auditing is one of the fastest growing services provided by public accounting firms.
Internal auditors provide independent assurance and consulting services that add value and improve organizations' operations. They identify and assess business risks, help managers build controls into business processes, investigate fraud, test the reliability and integrity of electronic information systems, and much more.
All business professionals need the knowledge and skills developed in Pitt State's Internal Auditing Education Partnership. Accordingly, participation in the IAEP offers benefits for students majoring in accounting, computer science, information systems, economics, finance, management, marketing, technology, health sciences, and other business-related fields.
