Summer Intern - Internal Audit
The objective of the Q2 Internal Audit Intern Program is to prepare undergraduate students for another audit-related internship or full-time position after graduation. The program provides students with hands-on exposure to testing business and IT controls for Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance and conducting walkthroughs of financial controls. Students come away with a solid understanding of what a first-year auditor would be exposed to on a publicly listed client and applied knowledge of financial controls and soft skills to engage effectively with clients.
The Summer Internship Program is 12-weeks long (May 25th - August 13th) and all positions are paid hourly with an average work week of 40 hours. In addition to your daily work, you will be given the opportunity for weekly classroom trainings with Sr. Leadership, activities with other Q2 interns and the opportunity to present to the Executive Leadership team at the end of the program.
