You are aware that most of the first courses in auditing focus on public accounting rather than internal auditing. Yet your professor states that most of the concepts related to audit approach and evidence gathering are applicable to both internal and external auditing.

Required

a. If you decide to start your career in internal auditing, how will your first two years of work differ from your first two years in public accounting?

b. Assume that you are interested in eventually developing your skills as a manager in a large organization. Explain why beginning a career in internal auditing would be compatible with those objectives.
