Corporate Audit Summer Analyst Student Internship

The Team

Bank of America is looking for proactive, risk-focused and analytically minded individuals to join the EMEA Corporate Audit Summer Analyst Program as part of the EMEA Corporate Audit team, which comprises of approximately 100 associates across London, Dublin, Chester, Paris and Istanbul.

Corporate Audit is responsible for providing an independent assessment of whether controlling processes within Bank of America are adequately designed and functioning effectively to mitigate potential risks. Corporate Audit teammates cover all areas of the corporation, performing validation of the company’s risk management activities through testing of key processes and controls across the company.

Management and the Audit Committee are provided with regular reporting of Bank of America’s risk management systems and internal controls. Additionally, Corporate Audit provides risk-based advice and counsel to management to help develop and maintain an appropriate customer-focused risk management culture that supports the Corporation's business objectives. This is a great opportunity to work within a diverse team of individuals that cover global businesses and their processes. This role provides great potential for exposure to senior management across the company and opportunity to engage in interesting and impactful work. The EMEA Corporate Audit team has great associate feedback with a supportive management team helping you achieve your full potential.

Programme overview 

The Corporate Audit Summer Analyst Program is a 10-week summer internship that introduces you to Bank of America and Corporate Audit. It offers you the opportunity to develop an understanding of internal audit across the bank’s Global Banking and Markets businesses and the control functions that support them.

Our goal for summer interns is to have the opportunity to build upon your academic foundation – specifically technical skills, industry knowledge and familiarity with a corporate environment – while pursuing your career based on your interests and background.

Training and Development 

Your training and development is our top priority with extensive formal training offered at the start of the program in addition to on-the-job support, events and mentorship throughout.

  • Develop your understanding of the bank’s Global Banking and Markets businesses, the control functions that support them and the bank’s risk and control framework.
  • Complete an audit-focused group project on a current or emerging risk topic.
