About The Position

Applications for Weaver's Summer 2027 GRC Internships are now open! At Weaver, our Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) practice includes two distinct service lines: Business Processes and IT Services. A GRC Business Processes internship offers students the opportunity to work closely with our clients to model services to fit their existing structure, process and staffing.

A Weaver GRC Business Processes Intern is responsible for learning and understanding internal audit and internal control concepts, financial statement close and reporting processes, as well as how internal controls impact financial statement preparation and disclosure.

This individual should have a basic understanding of the system development life cycle (design, development, testing, production and implementation) and various computing environments.
