By Michael Taylor


Some young people love mathematics, analysis, logic, management, and problem solving. For those interested in pursuing a career in the broad field of mathematics and business, there are many options. Some decide to become certified public accountants or tax advisers. Others run businesses, work for various levels of government, or become academics. Still others explore the field of auditing and are interested in the internal auditor training available at colleges and universities across the country.

Many young people are unsure of exactly what auditors do and may think it is always related to tax evasion investigations. This is not the case. Most auditors spend their careers working with various companies to improve their policies and procedures. They find ways to reduce risk and waste, improve time management, and investigate any suspected fraudulent business activities. Some auditors are full time employees of the companies they evaluate. Others work for audit companies and are retained by other corporations on a periodic basis.

Inside auditors work within the companies they evaluate. Their goals is to improve the functionality of a business, which should result in increased revenue. External auditors work outside management and are responsible to shareholders. These professionals are employed to ensure the annual financial reports shareholders receive are accurate and fully reflect the company's financial health.

Professionals in this field have a minimum of a four year degree in business, finance, or accounting. Most have master's degrees in business with accreditation in auditing. Some companies require that their auditing managers have advanced degrees.

Within the field of auditing, there are a number of different specializations. One of them is fraud management. These individuals investigate corporate financial fraud. This is a rapidly growing field because of federal regulations, an increasingly globalized economy, and the advancements of technology. Most successful fraud auditors have accounting degrees and many have masters in accounting or business. Individuals interested in this field can expect to start out making anywhere from fifty-five thousand to one hundred thousand dollars a year with benefits.

If you prefer to work within one company, you might be interested in auditing management. You will need a minimum of a four year degree in finance, business, or accounting. Auditing managers make sure their companies comply with all applicable governmental laws, rules, and regulations. They work with the corporate executive, financial, and operating officers to ensure the company is running efficiently as well.

If you are someone who is interested in this type of career but lacks the time or the means for an advanced degree, you may be a good candidate for an auditing clerk position. These professionals work with accountants and bookkeepers to make certain all company financial records are accurate and complete. They may be required to work behind the scenes to double check the work of other employees. Some companies require an associate's degree for consideration. Others will accept a high school diploma.

Auditing can be a good career for those with an interest in math, analysis, and management. High school and college counselors can answer questions and point students in the right direction.
