What you will be doing
As a Senior Associate, you will learn how our clients are organized and will test their internal controls. Internal controls are procedures, guidelines, standards and segregation of duties. Your job is to establish that control activities have been carried out according to the prescribed process and procedures. Testing of internal controls is done through walkthroughs and sample testing. A walkthrough starts with a meeting with the process owner of the client. Together with your Supervisor, you will go through the internal controls in order to test them in practice. When you finish the test phase, you conclude whether the internal controls have been correctly applied in practice. You discuss your conclusion with your Supervisor. Finally, you set up a meeting with the client to discuss the final conclusion and results.
