Job summary

Nas Chartered Accountants in Singapore is offering an Audit Intern role joining engagement teams on statutory audits for private companies, charities, societies and schools. You will perform real audit work under supervision and observe how an audit opinion is formed from start to finish.

The internship runs for a minimum of three months, with longer placements welcome. High performers may be considered for associate roles.

Qualifications

• Current or recently completed studies in accountancy, business or finance, or progress towards ACCA, CA (Singapore) or an equivalent qualification.
• Availability for at least three months, full time.
• A working knowledge of double-entry bookkeeping and the main financial statements.
• Confidence with Excel, and willingness to learn audit software quickly. Familiarity with cloud accounting software such as Xero, QuickBooks Online or Jaz is a plus.

• Clear written and spoken English.
• Values that match ours: trust, truthfulness, justice, excellence and benefit to others.

Responsibilities

• Attend year-end stock counts and other client site visits with the engagement team.
• Prepare lead schedules and working papers in our audit software, clearly enough for a reviewer to follow your work without asking.
• Draft sections of the financial statements and check them against SFRS disclosure requirements.
• Help with review engagements (SSRE 2400) and agreed-upon procedures, including grant and claims verification.
• Raise queries with clients politely and keep a log of open items for your senior.
• Complete the firm’s independence declaration and follow its confidentiality rules on every engagement.
