2026/2027 Intern | Controls Assurance | Auckland

By starting your career at Deloitte, you are joining a community of extraordinary professionals who put ‘making an impact’ at the heart of what they do. With our global reach, unwavering support, inclusive atmosphere, and cutting-edge technology, you'll have the opportunity to evolve into your fullest potential.  
 
An intern role at Deloitte is the perfect way to spend your summer and get a taste of what working for Deloitte would look like. You start with a cohort of people just like you, who have finished their penultimate year of study, and are wanting to spend their break getting hands-on experience in the field they are interested in pursuing after graduation. People at Deloitte are the best at what they do, and learning from high-performers is a fantastic way to kickstart your growth and career. 

“Deloitte is committed to staying at the forefront of innovation, including the integration and responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) in our solutions. We value adaptability and a growth mindset, recognising that AI is transforming the way organisations operate. By joining us, you’ll have the opportunity to develop skills that prepare you for the future of work and contribute to shaping how technology drives meaningful impact.”
 
Interns have a two-day induction in their office to understand the corporate environment, what the expectations are, and the role of interns at Deloitte. The internship runs from mid-November (following university exams), has a three week break over Christmas and New Years, and finishes early February before you head back to your final year of university. You will be part of a cohort of 150+ others, all learning collaboratively and building a foundation for your career.  
 
Once you sign your contract with Deloitte, you will start in November that year. Between the application process and your start-date, we have a number of touchpoints including a buddy reaching out to you, so you feel part of the Deloitte whānau before your first day.  
 
If you are interested in pursuing a graduate role at Deloitte after your internship, your buddy and coach can help provide feedback and ensure you make the most of the opportunity. A number of our interns receive a graduate contract at the end of their internship meaning they have secured a job for after university and do not need to apply again! Internships are only available to people with one more year of study. If you are in your final year of study – we hire a number of graduates who didn’t complete internships. For more information about our available roles, see our website.

About this role:  

This unique internship gives you the opportunity to experience two exciting career paths in one programme. You'll spend half of your internship in our Digital Assurance team and half in our Audit team, gaining hands-on experience across both areas. By the end of the internship you'll have a strong understanding of each team and will have had the opportunity to work across a diverse group of people within the business.

Our Digital Assurance practice works closely with the financial auditors, to understand client’s businesses, strategies and processes, IT architecture and risks. Our team keeps abreast of emerging technologies within the IT environment and help in developing audit plans to counter financial risks that might be associated with the application of such technologies. We support clients in enhancing their IT control governance maturity, working across a range of industries and clients.

Our Audit practice provides stakeholders with confidence and trust in their financial statements – proving they are accurate and free from misinformation. The team works in different sized project groups depending on the client size. These change throughout the year, so you get to work with a range of likeminded people and learn from others.

During your internship you will be building your core skills through top class training and mentor support that will set you up for a successful future career at Deloitte.

Your typical day working across two teams will include:  

• Working alongside your project team, internal subject matter experts, clients and different leaders.
• Getting into the details of a business and their functions - understanding how they operate and what their priorities are.
• Considering risks in relation to fraud and IT.
• Reviewing client controls and processes around financial information and information systems. Helping develop solutions on how to improve processes. Your voice and opinion matters, there is always more than one way to solve a problem.
• Supporting clients facing challenges from corporate governance, risk management and sustainability.

Enough about us, let’s talk about you. You are someone with:

• No previous experience is required. Part-time positions or internships in accounting/finance, IT, business analytics, law, customer service, retail and hospitality are beneficial
• Currently completing either;
  • a bachelor’s degree majoring in Accounting or Finance, or
  • a bachelor's degree in fields including, but not limited to IT, Data Science, Commerce/Business, Science, Economics, Finance or Statistics
• An analytical, detail-orientated and open mind, with a natural curiosity to get involved with and explore new and upcoming technologies
• An adaptable and resilient attitude – you understand what it's like to overcome obstacles through tenacity and hard work.
• You are able to work as a member of a team and communicate findings with stakeholders
