Questions

I got a job offer as an internal auditor in company called Assurant. I wonder if accepting such as offer permissible or not.

I am a CPA worked with EY for about 2 years and was laid off in last March and since then I am not able to find a job. Assurant sent me an offer but I am unable to apply the fatwas I heard on this company as they have variety of services. I would appreciate it if you look thoroughly at it and let me know if working at Assurant company is permissible.

As an internal auditor, you're not directly involved in selling or promoting any products — your role supports the company’s internal systems and controls.That makes a big difference.

My advice: focus more on what you will be doing, rather than the company as a whole. If your tasks align with your values, and this job helps you grow and gain experience, it's worth considering.but if the role supports your goals and doesn’t compromise your principles, it's okay to move forward with confidence.

Trust yourself. You’re thinking clearly — and that’s the best first step

If I got the right company - they are an insurance company.

Insurance companies do employ CPAs - so it should be worth your time to check into the offer.

I agree with the response that, it is important to understand what would be your role and if that matches with your aspirations. I understand you are without a job at this point, if that's the case you might want to give this offer a try, provided you like the role. You have the option to keep looking for more suitable option, even while you work in this role.

If you are a CPA and have no contractual or legal restrictions (such as a non-compete clause from your previous employer, or any regulatory limitations from your CPA license authority), there is no general prohibition on accepting an offer from Assurant. In fact, Assurant is a reputable company in the insurance and financial services industry, and working as an internal auditor there could be a good career move.
