Anonymous Answer

While I enjoy auditing as a whole, I enjoy internal auditing mostly because I love knowing that I can make a difference within an organization. I enjoy knowing I have helped a particular organization to maintain compliance with laws and regulations. I have helped it to mitigate both financial and operational risks and also helped it to improve its internal controls.
