Your accounting professors are now focused on a particular niche for our University. This niche should be unique to our Mission, providing opportunities for an underserved portion of San Antonio. In addition it should provide realistic dynamic opportunities leading to significant career opportunities.
We believe that opportunity is Internal Auditing.
Texas A & M College Station has a specific Internal Audit Specialization.
UT Dallas has an even more extensive course listing in a similar Internal Audit Program.
Take a look at those links, examine the course offerings, and look at the internship possibilities.
I will be joining the local SA Internal Audit Association. In fact I will deliver the program at their noon meeting Wednesday July 8.
Internal audit is perhaps the fastest growing segment of the accounting profession. Internal audit is all about identifying risk and putting controls in place to minimize that risk.
Learn more about the Certified Internal Audit CIA exam by clicking on this link. It is number two in participation behind CPA.
Frankly we see many more of our students becoming internal auditors than joining an external CPA firm.
Let any of us, Professor Green or Vasill, know what you think or what concerns you may have.
We may have to gain independent status before we can add courses to satisfy the requirements. We are on our way to the 1500 FTEs, it won't be long now.
