Top 10 Reasons to Become an Auditor

A QHSE Auditor is a great profession. Tenured Auditors will reminisce fondly on their younger days in the field and are never short of a story. But the profession is little known outside its own circles. Here’s a little insight into the benefits of being an CQI and IRCA registered Auditor;

When an Auditor speaks, you listen. Whether you’re an Internal Auditor looking for process improvement opportunities or a Certification Auditor checking organisational conformance – your words are valuable. That respect feels good!

You’ll not be found clock watching as an Auditor. Your daily routines will throw up new situations regularly.

8 – You get to see into organisations that others do not

Auditing will bring you exposure to a range industries and businesses that most would never see. If you’ve any level of professional curiosity you’ll be very satisfied.

7 – Run your own business

This far more tax efficient and flexible way of working is becoming commonplace. As an independent or associate auditor and a business owner you will be able to drive the business in a direction that suits your lifestyle.

6 – Manage your own time

Long hours are always going to be demanded sometimes. But as an independent or associate Auditor you will dictate your availability and ensure that the long hours do not become routine.

5 – Financially rewarding

Auditors are well paid as employees or free to set their own rates as free agents.

4 – More working from home using digital technology

Digital communication tools have allowed access to new geographies, making auditing internationally accessible to all. Auditors can now manage much of their business remotely.

3 – Travel

So, no travel then? On the contrary, there will always be a demand for onsite Auditors which brings the opportunity for business travel. Managing projects using onsite visits and digital technology will ensure your valuable time is used to full effect.

2 – Self Esteem

It feels good! Being an expert, people listening to your advice, delivering value – how can these things not affect your self-esteem? 

1 – Easily accessible qualification

Maybe most importantly, if you’ve work experience, the opportunities above are unlikely to be outside your reach. Take your experience, add some subject knowledge of the standards, quality, health & safety, environment, food etc., and learn the skills required by taking an internationally recognised professional Auditing qualification.
