Demand hit in financial services but holding up in commerce
2012 promises to be a year where the economy continues to weigh on demand for internal auditors. The total number of vacancies in the internal audit recruitment market fell in the second half of 2011. This fall was highest in the financial services sector and particularly the banks. It is clear that developments in the Eurozone have undermined a banking sector that was already struggling with the aftermath of the credit crunch.
As might be expected there is now little recruitment activity in the public sector and demand from the consultancy sector has slowed as consultancies weigh the potential demand for their services. Against this many commercial companies enjoyed record profitability in 2011 and are still registering vacancies. As internal auditors leave positions companies are still looking to replace them. However, whilst vacancies are being registered and interviews are being called there is not always the confidence to follow through with offers of employment.
More encouragingly demand for IT auditors is stronger and the shortage of IT auditors persists. IT auditors with marketable experience can still expect to be presented with a number of opportunities.
