This question is a good opportunity to highlight that you want to continue growing professionally and help the organization grow. This question is not a good opportunity to say you want the interviewer's role. The interviewer is trying to see that you have goals for your career.

"If I am fortunate enough to be hired for this role, my goal in the near term is to learn as much as possible about our organization. An internal auditor has a unique opportunity to learn about the policies and procedures of many departments, and that is insight that I will not take for granted. I would also like to be viewed as a leader in the organization by my colleagues. As long as I am growing professionally and acquiring new knowledge and skills, I believe I would be very happy."

In 5 years I hope to have had the opportunity to work in this company. I am currently enrolled in an accelerated MBA program at Lesley University as well as am scheduling my CIA exam. I hope to continue learning and applying that knowledge every day and as long as I am learning and growing I am happy.

Nice! It's great that you want to stay with the company long-term; the interviewer will appreciate this. It's also wonderful that you're continuing your education. Is there a particular role within the company that you hope to reach within the next five years? If so, mention the job title. Also, are you hoping to one day manage other people? Adding some additional details will further strengthen your answer. Great job!
