<p>Are these two majors almost the same? From the information i have gathered, it looks like Internal Auditing is a lot more in depth than Industrial engineering. Which of these two majors would help you get a job in the future and have a salary of 90k+?</p>
<p>don’t post saying you did research because you didnt, there is no undergrad major in internal auditing, rather just accounting. </p>
<p>there might be specialized masters.</p>
<p>90K plus? Depends how well you do in either field. Do some real research</p>
<p>I may be wrong but i was looking at this [Internal</a> Auditing Concentration - UB School of Management](<a href=“http://mgt.buffalo.edu/home/programs/undergrad/curriculum/auditing]Internal”>http://mgt.buffalo.edu/home/programs/undergrad/curriculum/auditing)
with the internal auditing track.</p>
<p>right, It’s still very close to an accounting degree. Basically, you need 150 credits to sit for the CPA, so with the accounting concentration in internal audit AND a few more credits you can sit for the cpa. MANY internal audit firms that pay well nowadays prefer public accounting experience and the CPA. </p>
<p>So whether you majorin the internal audit concentration or CPA track at UB, you WILL need more credits either way; I don’t know if Buffalo has a MS in Accounting, but I know Albany and Binghamton do. LEt me know if you have more questions.</p>
<p>P.S., my dad did the CPA track years ago and claims it prepared him well for the CPA, but things could have changed.</p>
<p>Internal Auditing is Accounting, Industrial Engineering is the engineering equivalent of Production/Operations Management in the business school.</p>
<p>Not sure how you would think that these two are the slightest bit associated with each other: one deals with reviewing financial statements, the other with improving production and logistical processes for a manufacturing firm.</p>
<p>Getting a BS in Accounting and a MBA in Operations Management (as I’ve already done) makes sense only in the context of wanting to combine the two (such as creating programs that translate production operations transactions into meaningful financial data). This is basically what Oracle and SAP do. It is also helpful in auditing manufacturing firms (such as doing SOX work for such a firm) or in performing strategic or financial consulting for such a firm.</p>
