Internal Audit Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become an internal audit in Pennsylvania?
Internal auditing in Pennsylvania does not require a state-issued license, but employers consistently expect a bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or business alongside professional certification. The Certified Internal Auditor credential, administered by the Institute of Internal Auditors, is the most widely recognized path and requires passing a multi-part exam plus relevant work experience. Many Pennsylvania employers, particularly in banking and healthcare, treat CIA candidacy or a Certified Public Accountant license as a hiring prerequisite.
How much do internal audits make in Pennsylvania?
Internal audits in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $79,000 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $50,680 for the lowest 10% to over $130,270 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire internal audits in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring internal audits in Pennsylvania right now include Protiviti, Air Products, and PNC Financial Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Pennsylvania's concentration of large financial institutions, regional health systems, and Fortune 500 headquarters in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh corridors means the state supports a particularly deep pool of in-house audit teams year-round.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most internal audit jobs?
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Allentown have the most internal audit openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia leads because of its dense cluster of financial services firms, insurance carriers, and major health systems, while Pittsburgh's corporate base in financial services, energy, and technology drives strong demand there, and Harrisburg draws openings tied to state government agencies and regulated utilities headquartered in the capital region.
Are there remote internal audit jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, and more than many comparable finance roles. About 83% of internal audit openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting the desk-based and analytical nature of most audit work. Continuous monitoring, data analytics, and report-writing tasks translate well to remote arrangements, while fieldwork phases involving walkthroughs or physical inventory observation typically still require on-site presence.
How can I get hired as an internal audit in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a staff auditor or audit associate role at a large Pennsylvania employer that runs formal rotational programs, such as the audit development programs offered by PNC Financial Services or major regional health systems like UPMC. Candidates coming from adjacent roles in public accounting, compliance, or financial analysis find their skills transfer well. Pursuing CIA candidacy or holding an active CPA license significantly strengthens an entry-level application and signals commitment to the profession to Pennsylvania hiring managers.
Where can I find and apply to internal audit jobs in Pennsylvania?
