Hear from our previous intern Kena:  

‘I had a great time in Audit. The work kept me engaged without feeling overwhelming, and I felt like I was learning something new every day. The training was good, but what really made the difference were the people, my manager and buddy were both super approachable and always willing to help. I also had the chance to speak with a lot of people who've done the ACA, and those conversations really helped me feel confident about pursuing it myself in the future.
