I recently worked with an intern who is currently studying University of London's Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Finance in SIM. She helped in some of the projects we did to enhance our department's quality assurance as well to help in some data import and analysis in building an audit risk model. I realised from that experience that it was useful to bring someone in to assist in working on projects that would be more challenging to do whilst we are busy with day-to-day operational work requirements.

If you are currently pursuing an undergraduate programme with a recognised university (public or private) in Singapore with an interest in internal audit or internal controls or data analytics using computer-assisted-audit-tools, you can drop me a note at yekker at gmail.com to register your interest. Basically, I can take in one intern at a time. If your course of study is in business, accounting, finance and even IT related, you can consider applying. Our organisation pays $800 a month and the internship period can range from 3 to 6 months.

I am not particularly fussy over the course of study as I'm taking in only those who have interest in internal audit, controls or data analytics related areas.

This opportunity is available starting from August 2011 whilst the internship is still vacant as my previous intern has completed her two month stint with us. Email me at yekker at gmail.com if you have an interest in the areas I've described or wish to find out more.
