What's it like to be an Auditor?
An Auditor is an authorised person that independently performs a formal examination of systems, processes, or records for accuracy and compliance against globally-accepted standards. Auditors are commonly associated with ensuring accuracy of financial information, however, there are many types of Auditors that also independently verify records, processes, and systems. This includes IT security systems and manufacturing quality processes. Auditors help ensure that an accepted standard is being followed.
Tasks and duties
- Collating and analysing records, processes, or systems.
- Examining controls and system processes.
- Ensuring accuracy of records and reports.
- Making sure that records and systems are in compliance.
- Providing a report and recommendations on improvements to be compliant.
Auditors are required to understand the process of the organisation or individual being audited. They require strong attention to detail to keep accuracy of findings in line with ISA standards and regulations.
How to become an Auditor
To become an Auditor, you will need to have a strong understanding of the process, systems or records that you are auditing.
- If you are interested in financial auditing, complete a bachelor degree in audit, taxation, managerial accounting, or a related field of study. However, some employers may prefer candidates with a postgraduate degree.
- Alternatively, if you are interested in auditing non-financial processes, experience in your industry or completion of an industry certification is beneficial.
- Financial Auditors in Malaysia are required to have a licence given by the Malayan Institute of Accountants (MIA), and be a member of the organisation for at least 1 year and registered as a Chartered Accountant.
