What You’ll Do First
Our training is diverse because Internal Audit supports such a wide range of business activities. Common to all Internal Audit associates is training in the audit methodologies that enable you to identify risks and analyze internal controls. These skills will be central to your role, whichever team or project you work on. Beginning with your first audit project, you will analyze the processes being audited, document key internal controls, identify potential risks, isolate cost savings opportunities and formulate improvement recommendations.

What You’ll Do Later
After your initial training and successful performance as an Auditor, you will be ready to undertake further audit responsibilities. The potential progression from the position of Auditor is Senior Auditor. With the broad exposure to Sears Holdings businesses that audit provides, you will also find career opportunities in other parts of our business. Whichever path you choose, Sears Holdings will be there to support you with our training and certification programs.
