Hi, long time reader here. I am working currently as an Internal Auditor in a public firm here in Qatar. My work experience:
1 year and 3 months in External audit in the PH (Big 4-outsourced basis) tasks are like the tasks of junior auditors in a public firm - checking of mathematical accuracy of FS, substantive testing (client documents against reported amounts) , disclosure checklist, gathering of bank confirmations and etc.
6 months as Management Consultant in KPMG PH - business process review and improvement
7 months and counting here in Qatar working in Internal Audit. (CIA certified)
I have been reading this forum since I graduated, but now that I am earning more than enough para makaipon for this journey, gusto ko na sya istart. I am aware na need ko pa kumuha ng experience (atleast 3 years here in IA in Qatar if I want to be sure of that 5 points) but I have some concerns.
(School - SSCR cavite) I am a graduate of Business Administration major in Management Accounting (BSBA MA), our subjects are almost the same with our BSA counterparts except that we do not have Auditing Problems and Audit Theory. Will this affect my education assessment, I am a CIA, will it help to get a positive assessment and will I get the 15 points for education? I hope someone with the same experience would advise me.
For now, since I am short of 2 years and 5 months of experience for the 3 years experience, what can I do to prepare, is it best to start IELTS right now?
Thank you in advance!
