To become a tax auditor, the academic requirement typically includes:
A. a master’s degree and certification
Most tax auditors at a professional level have at least a bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or a related field, and many positions prefer or require a master’s degree, particularly for advanced roles. Certification, such as becoming a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), is also often necessary.
However, while some entry-level positions may be available with a bachelor’s degree or even an associate’s degree, generally speaking, option A is the most appropriate choice for a more established career as a tax auditor.
It's important to verify the specific requirements based on the location and the employer's standards, as they can vary.
