Guide Your Students on the Path to a Career in Public Company Audit

Your Students' Road to Discover Audit

The skills required for the auditor of the future are always evolving. To help you stay ahead of the curve, the Discover Audit team, in collaboration with the leading public company auditing firms and the AICPA, developed this roadmap to advise students on what they will need to become a successful auditor of the future. Both college-level educators and students will find this document to be useful as they plan the course of studies. The roadmap outlines the ideal mindsets and behaviors that will be required of the auditor of the future. It also identifies key areas of knowledge that firms consider desirable for their new hires to possess. The knowledge areas can be acquired by completing the relevant courses offered at your institution, which may be offered as requirements for the major in accounting, or through electives. Educators can assist students with the selection of applicable courses.

By following either the workbook or at-a-glance version of the below roadmap for their undergraduate studies, your students will have a distinct advantage while also completing their 150-hour education requirement.

Case Studies & Auditor Training Videos

The Center for Audit Quality’s Anti-Fraud Collaboration has developed case studies  which are educational tools for all members of the financial reporting supply chain, as well as students. Participants in case study teachings start with a hypothetical scenario about a fictional company dealing with a fraud. Guided by an instructor, they then discuss what could have been done to address the situation. These case studies are perfect to use in classrooms!

The Center for Audit Quality also has developed a series of training video vignettes that provide insights into the types of conversations that occur between audit team members as well as auditors and preparers.
