PricewaterhouseCoopers: Systems and Process Assurance (SPA) Summer Internship
September 12, 2008
Company: PricewaterhouseCoopers
Location: PA-Philadelphia
Type of Position: Full-time
Application Deadline: 10/22/2008
Challenging Opportunities in Systems and Process Assurance (SPA)
While the Systems and Process Assurance (SPA) group has been an important part of our PwC Assurance practice for 30 years, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has placed renewed focus on Internal Controls. To best meet that demand, PwC has been aggressively growing our SPA team. SPA is primarily responsible for providing the controls focus to all of our engagements, including our Integrated Audits. Professionals in our Systems and Process Assurance (SPA) practice provide relevant knowledge in the area of Information Technology General Controls–those controls that form the foundation of any complex IT environment. SPA is also responsible for understanding and evaluating the controls over Business Processes. These controls range from manual reconciliations to highly complex systematic controls that require specialized expertise. Our professionals hold degrees in Accounting/MIS, MIS/Finance, and Computer Science, among others. The diversity of our practice allows us to leverage the existing skill set in an individual.
Requirements
We are looking for candidates pursuing a degree in Accounting or Finance with a strong systems background or aptitude, or MIS or Computer Science with a strong accounting or business background or interest. In addition, candidates should:
- Have a client service orientation combined with creative problem solving skills; strong written and oral communication skills; the ability to work effectively as part of a team, yet function well independently.
- Be highly motivated and interested in taking the initiative for their personal growth and development.
- Be able to prioritize and handle multiple tasks.
- Have an ability to successfully interact with clients and PricewaterhouseCoopers professionals.
