Episode Beyond the Textbook: What Students See in Internal Audit
The Institute of Internal Auditors Presents: All Things Internal Audit
In this episode, we hand the mic to seven students from across the US and Canada who are on their way into the internal audit profession, and ask them how they got here, what surprised them, we what they're still figuring out. They talk about what classrooms teach well, what only experience can provide, and why the work carries more weight than they expected.
