Internship Program
How it Works
Through the Internal Auditing Education Partnership (IAEP), student interns get to work with UT Dallas internal auditors on real audits.
Every fall and spring semester, UT Dallas graduate students taking the Internal Audit course (ACCT 6380) complete a project in which they gain internal audit work experience by partnering with UT Dallas internal auditors and other local internal audit departments.
Why is a UT Dallas audit internship special?
The program is recognized by the Institute of Internal Auditors as one of only two university programs in the U.S. and five worldwide as a Center for Internal Auditing Excellence. Program graduates, considered among the best in the field, are sought by well-known organizations. Our student interns have not only been hired at UT Dallas in the Office of Audit and Consulting Services, but they have also been hired in the internal audit departments of many companies. They are:
- Directors of Internal Audit at colleges and universities
- Investigators
- Auditors, audit leaders, risk managers at major companies
- Audit Leaders and Partners at EY, Deloitte, PWC, Weaver, Whitley Penn, Protiviti, and other public accounting firms
- Vice Presidents
- CISOs
- Compliance Leaders
- Staff and leaders in IT, Supply Chain, and other key risk areas
- Speakers at professional conferences, including the Institute of Internal Auditors
History
The Office of Audit and Consulting Services has been working with student interns ever since the UT Dallas Jindal School of Management’s Internal Auditing Education Partnership (IAEP) began in 2003. In that time, UT Dallas internal auditors have worked with over 350 students on over 150 audits!
