This is a 12-week internship during summer 2027.

As an Internal Audit Intern, you'll join Coinbase's Internal Audit team, which provides independent, risk-based assurance and advisory services that strengthen governance, compliance, risk management, and internal controls across the company. You'll get hands-on experience supporting one of the following audit areas: Information Technology (IT), Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), or Financial Crimes Compliance (FCC). You'll own real audit work from planning through reporting and explore how emerging technologies like AI can improve audit quality and efficiency.

What you'll do:

• Own assigned audit work end-to-end with guidance from the Internal Audit team, and present observations to leadership in clear, actionable terms
• Build accurate, detailed workpapers that clearly describe work performed, testing results, and conclusions for each audit project
• Analyze datasets using SQL or other analytics tools to test control populations, identify exceptions, and support data-driven audit conclusions
• Apply professional skepticism to evaluate evidence, challenge assumptions, and identify control design gaps or operational deficiencies that others may overlook
• Map complex business processes into structured process flows and control narratives, identifying key control points, dependencies, and risk areas through walkthroughs with process owners
• Explore and prototype how AI and emerging technologies can improve audit processes and outcomes

Required Skills and Experience:

• Currently pursuing a BA/BS degree with coursework in accounting, finance, data analytics, or risk management, with exposure to internal controls, audit frameworks, or risk management concepts through academic or project experience
• Demonstrated critical thinking and analytical reasoning, including the ability to evaluate evidence, identify patterns and anomalies, challenge assumptions, and draw well-supported, independent conclusions
• Ability to understand and document complex business workflows: translate multi-step processes into clear process flows, control matrices, and risk assessments (experience with flowcharting tools a plus)
• Intermediate experience with at least one data analytics or visualization tool (e.g., Tableau, SQL, Power BI, Python)
• Experience documenting audit findings, control observations, or analytical conclusions in written format and presenting recommendations to senior stakeholders
• Utilizes generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.
