Developing Tomorrow's Internal Auditor
Urton Anderson, University of Texas
A recent survey from Robert Half reported that “the demand for
internal auditors today is unprecedented.” They report that it
typically takes more than 12 weeks to hire staff internal auditors
and up to six months for hiring at the management level. And this is
not just internal audit in another survey of managers over half
reported having difficulty finding skilled job candidates to fill
accounting and finance positions. Where will tomorrow’s internal
auditors come from? What skills will they need? Professor Anderson
will talk about what being done and what needs to be done in college
and university accounting curriculum to train the internal auditor
of the future.
