An audit is a learning experience for both the auditors and auditees

You can learn about an organization's processes and systems by performing an audit, as well as the best practices it implements. Because auditing aims to compare actual results to a set management systems standard (MSS) such as ISO 9001 that the organization has decided to follow. Thus, the Auditor must learn everything about the standards to do the job. 

Likewise, MSS describes how an organization operates. As a result, the auditor would be able to examine many aspects of how the organization operates. As a result, you will gain a great deal of knowledge about how various functions in an organization work and achieve their objectives. Gaining exposure to many areas of work can provide enormous rewards, as one builds a career in a specific field. When you have such exposure it's very easy to grow professionally and move up to senior positions.

Imagine someone who understands the organization well, knows which areas are of priority, what are the most critical areas that the organization can't afford to fail, can build relationships with those around them; has all the ingredients to navigate the organization, and climb its ladder. 

In addition, auditors are required to work with their colleagues (auditees). Normally, they will have difficulties getting cooperation. By doing auditing, It is the perfect setting for developing soft skills such as how to build relationships, offer constructive feedback, empathize with front-line realities and constraints, and pick up those who fail badly. Auditing has great potential, but necessary soft skills are important to make the most of it. Therefore, to leverage the above advantage of an audit position, the person must possess a growth mindset and high EQ.

To conclude, Auditing provides a development opportunity for the people doing the audit.
