    Hi guys,
    I plan to go into audit. Just wanna get some insight from you guys.
    1)Is it true that audit people are most on site ? How often? outside of Dublin much?
    2) If I don't quite like moving around, which department in audit in BIG4 requires the least onsite job?
    3) If I did audit training in BIG4 could I moved into industry or Banks? I heard that the role or how the auditing process of BIG 4 is different to other industry and banks. is it possible to move around industry?

    Thanks guy! Any advice is highly appreciated!! :)

    1) depends on Dept, highest percentage would be out of office 70% of the time

    2) Financial services audit (banks, insurance, funds)

    3) not sure what you mean exactly. It's definitely a move you can make but banks do not audit, apart from internal audit (auditing themselves). If you like auditing, internal audit isn't that different but then again who likes auditing.
