About The Internship

As an Audit Intern, you’ll join a collaborative team working with some of Ireland’s most recognised organisations.

From day one, you’ll contribute to real client work, use technology, data and AI to support audits, and learn how different businesses operate. Audit is about more than numbers. It’s about helping organisations build trust by making sure their financial information is accurate, reliable and meaningful.

What It’s Like

• working with your team on real client projects
• analysing financial information using audit technology
• joining client meetings and learning how businesses operate
• developing analytical, problem-solving and communication skills
• receiving regular coaching and feedback

“My day-to-day role in the Audit department included contacting banks, meetings with clients, and testing controls. On my Placement, I worked on large but very different Multi-National Companies nearly every week and found that every company can differ.”

— Past Placement (UL, Business Studies)

What You’ll Get

• Real experience from the start, not just shadowing
• Coaching and feedback to help you unlock your talent
• Support from a dedicated Performance Manager and Buddy
• Practical business, technology and communication skills
