Are you an internal auditor at home as well ?

How your career as an internal auditor is affecting your lifestyle and relationship with others? It is a fact that our careers affect our lifestyle in a way or another, whether we intend this or not .For example, as an internal auditor, do you find yourself : - Dealing with others with skepticism without giving them the benefit of the doubt ? - Paying too much attention to details at home ? This may not keep your spouse happy ! - Trying to maintain independence in your relationships with family members and friends when sometimes we have to take sides and be biased? - Questioning if your actions may result in a conflict of interest all the times ? - On the positive side ,do you think that internal audit made you : - A more effective communicator - An objective person - A persuader - Add value and change lives around you - Vigilant. You pay more attention to your surroundings. - Assess risks more reasonably ! Or does it reduce your risk appetite ? Please share your thoughts and experience .

Yes, at home, I will be an Internal Auditor.I recognise the independance of everyone .So everyone at home is an internal auditor not only me.There is check and balance. So everyone is afraid of the other on the mistakes being committed. So mistakes less.We are peaceful.

It is in the human nature those highly skilled people tend to carry their experties where ever they go.

However, it is not good to follow the same audit principle in real life.

One should not treat his home and family members as Board members of the company and put financial control standards at home. It is very important to maintain Work and Life balance.
