A DAY IN THE LIFE
I chose to start my career in Financial Services because…
it’s the backbone of the American economy—and the world economy—as it creates liquidity in the markets and provides capital for businesses to grow. I wanted to be a part of this dynamic industry with its enormous learning opportunities and new challenges.
I selected Internal Audit because…
I’m interested in understanding the internal structure of a financial organization and learning the business, front to back. I enjoy working with clients to solve complex problems and in achieving our stakeholders’ objectives.
As an Internal Audit Analyst…
communication, teamwork and an eagerness to learn new skills were important qualities to have when I started. On the job I learned the audit process from planning to testing and reporting. I also learned to manage my time efficiently, build solid client relationships, and understand the risks that exist within the various lines of business.
The best part of my job is…
working with clients and learning about their roles within their business unit or division. I really enjoy collaborating with talented colleagues to solve issues that could affect the Firm and its clients.
My role on the team…
varies from one audit to another. As an Analyst, I am involved in project management, and collaborate with colleagues to identify risks and controls. Critical thinking is necessary to complete required testing and determine any issues, as well as opportunities for improvement. Good communication skills with the client and team members also make for a sound audit process.
Many former Analysts have gone on to…
successful careers within Internal Audit and other roles within the financial services industry. Internal Audit is a great place to start a career!
