• Each intern will complete, on average, over 35 audits from start to finish and also have the opportunity to write the audit reports!  Is there any better learning opportunity than just doing it?  After preparing 35 audits, you will understand auditing much better than simply talking about it in a classroom!

• Work closely with others in teams
• Gain experience working  on multiple clients to increase your understanding of the process
