Reasons our Auditors enjoy working here (things you may want to consider):
While the Auditing Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints currently only hires full-time auditors who are CPAs with at least 2 years of public accounting or other relevant experience, we feel that an internship within Church Auditing provides several unique benefits, including the following:
Opportunities: Continue to grow your network as you associate with management at Church headquarters and operations across the globe. We encourage our interns to get experience in public accounting before they come back to us in church employment.
Variety: We want to provide our interns varied experiences. We audit the operations, controls, and financial statements of a multinational Church organization including affiliated not-for-profit and for-profit operations. Operations include media, humanitarian, temples, family history, construction, real estate, retail, higher education, hospitality, investments, insurance, and others. Auditing Church operations is both intellectually challenging and interesting.
Balance: Working in the Church Auditing Department provides opportunities to work in a professional environment that places a high priority on balancing family, Church, and personal time with work responsibilities.
Travel: Auditing Church operations provides opportunities to travel both domestically and internationally given the Church’s global operations. Meeting and working with dedicated Church members across the globe is a highlight for our teams. Interns may have opportunities to travel.
Learning: We plan to give a variety of experiences that will provide a great learning experience.
Teamwork: We actively work in teams to collaborate and devise the best possible solutions for clients. We also have employee socials, trainings, and family events to build camaraderie and create a fun and connected environment.
Impact: We evaluate risks and controls throughout Church affiliated companies to give assurance to management that they are in proper order and help protect assets of the Church.
