@wes I don't how this happened but I may be in the application pipeline for a Senior IT Auditor role

I’m a CFA lvl 1. Currently work in P&C insurance. Boring as hell.

Think you're gonna pursue it?

It's an interesting role. At a clearing house here in Chicago, focused on operational IT and cybersecurity audits instead of ITGC testing/SOX/pure compliance.

I'm definitely gonna give it a shot but it seems like it's a much more technical role than your average IT Auditor gig, so idk

Post to avy correlation is insanity.

What's your goal with the CFA

Sounds like it's something I'd potentially consider lol. I'd imagine it'd be a bit more interesting than the typical IT audit position, so that'd be a plus. Good luck

How do you have time to even post on ktt? Accounting is so demanding

Go into Internal Audit dude. It probably has the best WLB out of any accounting/operational/compliance/risk/technology function out there.

Where’s my drink

Tbh looking at these job descriptions I'm getting interested in IT Audit in general. Looks like it's like Internal Audit where the s***ty gigs are all SOX/compliance. Any sprinkling of operational experience seems like a shoo-in to enter InfoSec.

Asset management.

That was my plan if I didn't get my current job lol. Figured it was something I could put up with for a year or two, then make the pivot into security. Prior to graduating like 5 years ago, pretty much all I saw were people saying there's not a ton of exit opportunities with IT audit, but they might have been speaking from an accounting POV.

But yeah man, def worth a shot if you're finding the job descriptions interesting. Work life balance for those positions seem great as well. Doesn't seem like the worst thing in the world. Worst case, it's probably a bit boring, but I'd rather take that over some other alternatives

Good luck man, are you trying to get chartered? You'd have a ton of opportunities in AM once you become a Level 3 candidate

Definitely. CFA isn’t easy but it’ll be worth it in the long run.

2 months to go

in

we made it

Tryna get my CFP next year

Happy internal audit awareness month

Landed a Senior IA role a month ago, they already want me heavily working with InfoSec audits/Data A***ytics for our risk management I made such a good choice moving forward with this place.

Cybersec GRC here I come

Any CPAs on KTT?

Dear CPA preparatory course student,

The CPA profession in Canada is updating the CPA certification program. This includes refreshing the CPA Professional Education Program (CPA PEP), its exams, and the practical experience requirements. Collectively, these re-imagined components form the new CPA Professional Program.

We wanted to make you aware of some upcoming deadlines and provide information about the CPA Professional Program so that you can best plan your education pathway.

CPA Preparatory Courses
The CPA preparatory courses will be offered until at least December 2026 and we are considering options to extend for one year, after which point they will no longer be available. We anticipate that we will share the final offering dates later this year.

Depending on your timeline to complete the CPA preparatory courses or equivalents, you may fall into the following education pathways.

If you can successfully complete all CPA preparatory courses or equivalents by January 2027 you can enroll in CPA PEP.

CPA PEP will continue to be offered throughout 2026 and will wind down in 2027 and 2028. You can find the delivery schedule here. The final offering of CPA PEP Core 1 begins January 2027. If you would like to enroll in CPA PEP, you must register by the stated deadline and must have written the final exam for all CPA preparatory courses or post-secondary equivalents before the final Core 1 offering begins in January 2027. People who start Core 1 in January 2027 and complete the remaining modules as they are offered will be eligible to write the final CFE in September 2028.
If you cannot successfully complete all CPA preparatory courses or equivalents by January 2027 you may be able to enroll in the CPA Professional Program.

The first offering of the CPA Professional Program begins in May 2027. The CPAWSB website has been updated with information about the new program, and more information will be available over the next year-and-a-half as we prepare to launch the new program in 2027.
We expect that you will have questions about enrolling in the CPA Professional Program. We commit to supporting you as you work towards admission to CPA PEP or the CPA Professional Program. Please email us at prepadvising@​cpawsb.ca with any questions or feel free to schedule an appointment with an Advisor using our Bookings Calendar: Student Experience and Examinations Calendar. We might not have all the answers yet, but we can tell you when we expect them.

Best regards,
