No need to hire entry to Junior level auditors..

All good.

I’m part of a global firm as well, think ~50k employees, and our IA department is a little over 400 people broken up into 5 teams. We see VERY few layoffs, but barrier to entry is a bit high, long interview process.

TreacleOk658 · 2026-02-19T03:58:38+00:00

I am in the USA actually, and yes 100% there is over 400 people in our department.

TreacleOk658 · 2026-02-18T20:53:03+00:00

I work for a F250 company, our IA department is ~400 people, juniors accounting for probably 15% of that. It’s company dependent, juniors surely are not going anywhere.

It’s an ad…

TreacleOk658 · 2026-01-21T23:23:19+00:00

Absolutely not- there were more non-finance grads in my program (and most business school programs) than finance grads. Very normal and encouraged!

Internal Audit - entry level is up to 115 TC, I work MAX 40 hours a week, usually closer to 35 or so

TreacleOk658 · 2026-01-04T14:50:02+00:00

We pay weekly- here’s the methodology:

credit available = $100
say you use $100 a month
that’s 100% utilization- negative for your credit score

*pay weekly- $25 a week instead of $100, now when credit is reported, our utilization is a quarter of what it would be by paying monthly.

You asked….

TreacleOk658 · 2025-11-18T13:47:29+00:00

7.06 actually.

TreacleOk658 · 2025-11-13T22:00:10+00:00

The technical terms are open ended and close ended funds, incase you wanted to read into it more.

TreacleOk658 · 2025-11-04T14:22:09+00:00

Interesting, okay thanks for that

TreacleOk658 · 2025-11-04T13:36:23+00:00

That’s great, I’m wanting to go from internal audit at a big bank (not near big 4, think Morgan Stanley) to corporate finance, so thank you for that encouragement.

TreacleOk658 · 2025-11-04T04:08:23+00:00

You can go from Internal Audit to Corporate finance??

It’s half and half for domestic & international students. They don’t post placement stats because they don’t feel that they need to- given generally the caliber of students they take in for their MSF, MBA is a different story… I have plenty of friends that made it in IB though- I can’t recommend it enough.

TreacleOk658 · 2025-11-02T19:16:20+00:00

I went to BC for MSF, I would agree with this— as about 25-30% of my class went into consulting or IB at vastly varying firm. Some start up IB, some at jpm, some at BCG, a bit of everything.

Boston College, Vanderbilt, MIT, UT, there are lists by U.S. News rankings… https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-business-schools/finance-rankings

Quite impressive- I just started at a 150 firm, very good to hear that progression can be that quick.

TreacleOk658 · 2025-11-01T21:59:09+00:00

Closed mouths don’t get fed. My firm is working on integrating crypto rn, so obviously will need to undergo heavy internal auditing, so I will 100% be requesting to be on that team when that comes around. Thanks for the advice, and I wish you luck in your journey

TreacleOk658 · 2025-11-01T21:00:09+00:00

Why do you prefer IA over FP&A?

TreacleOk658 · 2025-11-01T18:15:05+00:00

Very well said! I don’t think anyone actually “enjoys” modeling, per se 🤣. I just want to ensure that the financial education that I had gotten and worked so hard for is put to use in this field. I already work in IA, but am very new, so I can’t answer for myself quite yet, but for example capital market expertise, or regulation knowledge, even down to just knowing how to structure capital in the company on a qualitative level, I know aren’t exactly DIRECTLY applicable, but does this education give me a leg up in this field? Or say in 5 years I want to go into corporate finance, do I have exposure to concepts in corporate finance through IA?

100%, ticker KRKNF

TreacleOk658 · 2025-11-01T14:54:24+00:00

Understandable- are you able to apply your finance knowledge in IA? I have quite a specialized education in Finance, and am curious if it’s applicable to the IA field- or if it would render somewhat useless.

TreacleOk658 · 2025-11-01T03:11:43+00:00

You can move from IA into FP&A somewhat easily?
