About the Chief Audit Executive job
The Chief Audit Executive runs internal audit, the independent function that tells the board whether the controls actually work. The role reports to the audit committee, owns the audit plan, and is the one voice in the building specifically built to be skeptical. It is a senior, stable seat across every regulated sector, and the bench it draws from feeds the CRO and CCO chairs.
BLS put the 2024 median at $78,420. In 2026, market trackers show averages from roughly $99,000 to $120,000, with the top quartile above $160,000. Financial centers and senior governance roles sit at the top of that range.
