Accounting Intern

Accounting-focused Students: A paid internship that gives back: 3 billion dollars back, annually!

What is the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA)?

Auditing defense contracts is unlike any other career in the financial world: Before an aircraft carrier sails out to sea for the first time, we've been on board. Before a medevac helicopter takes to the skies, we've seen it being made. We audit government contracts for supplies, equipment, and services that help our military service members and their missions succeed while giving back $3 billion in taxpayer money each year. So much more than a desk job, there's no other career in the financial world like a career with DCAA.

Qualifications: Applicants must be enrolled at a qualifying educational institution full time and completed at least one year of study. The required education must lead to a bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field (auditing, business administration, economics, finance, or public administration) with a total of 24 or more semester hours in Accounting including up to 6 semester hours in Business Law. Minimum GPA: 2.5, Must be a U.S. Citizen.

Duties:

• Gathers background information for assigned audit areas.
