An industry in urgent need of information system auditors

1. Software suppliers, especially integrated software suppliers for economic management. They need information system auditors to participate in product design, planning and testing, evaluate customers' existing information systems, and put forward ideas for transformation. All the major suppliers of ERP and CRM products in the world employ a large number of information system auditors.

Second, management consulting institutions. After the 1990s, the focus of international management consulting has gradually developed to provide customers with a package of solutions, in which the configuration of information systems is the basis for the success of the solutions. Therefore, more than 50% employees in internationally renowned management consulting institutions are familiar with information technology, and 20% of them have the qualification of information system auditor.

Third, accounting firms. Accounting firms are also the earliest foothold for information system auditors. The main job of this department is to monitor customers' information system risks and operational risks, and provide customers with ERP or CRM installation, maintenance and training. In addition, the traditional audit of financial statements of accounting firms is increasingly inseparable from information system auditors. Because without their work, evaluating the internal control risk and internal risk of enterprises will become an empty talk. Therefore, in the current international accounting companies, the youngest partner or manager is often the information system auditor.

Fourth, multinational companies. As the most concentrated users of information systems, multinational companies urgently need a large number of information system auditors in order to participate in the process of information construction and keep information monitoring of their branches at all times. Another new sign is that the internal audit departments of multinational companies are also recruiting a large number of information system auditors to strengthen internal supervision and containment.

5. Large state-owned enterprises and listed companies. These institutions often have strong financial resources to realize the informationization of management and ensure the stability of production and operation, and the requirements for information system auditors are similar to those of multinational companies.
