    I really wanna be an internal auditor ( for sherwin Williams). they require a 2.8 on the job description. I have a 2.64. I’ll be graduating this summer. I already work there but in a different department. I looked at some of the profiles of people that work their audit jobs and most of them aren’t CPA’s.

    need some advise on how to go about this

    If you qualify for the CPA I would start taking CPA exams. You could also enroll in a masters program part-time, and try to get a high GPA in your first semester. After the first semester you can apply for the internal audit position with your new gpa. Let them know that you wish to finish your masters part-time while working full-time.

    I spoke to an ancient wise man who sent me on a mushroom induced journey through an ancient forest to find the key to passing the CPA exam. A talking spider monkey told me to throw the last of my drinking water in the dirt to find what I was looking for. So I followed his instructions and the following message appeared in the soil:

    "Do 5000 multiple choice questions for each section"

    Getting the CIA is good advice if you are sure you will end up being an internal auditer. Just keep in mind you need 24 months of internal audit experience to become licensed. If you end up not getting THE job in internal audit and go into public or private accounting you may never attain the CIA license even if you pass those exams. The CPA will help you attain jobs in a broader range of accounting fields and I believe it will hold at least the same prestige for internal audit as the CIA.
