Museum Intern Jobs in Tennessee (NOW HIRING)

Job Description:
Financial Audit Intern
Summer 2025: June 2 - August 8
About Our Program
The Comptroller of the Treasury's Audit Internship Program is a 10-week paid educational and experiential learning opportunity offering undergraduate students a chance to witness and participate in the audit operations of the office. Interns will spend the summer building skills through their assignment to an active audit, audit-specific training, and professional development training. Interns will also have opportunities to build relationships with each other through shared experiences, such as touring the State Capitol and the Tennessee State Museum.
Intern responsibilities may include learning to examine and review records, reports, financial statements, and management practices for state and local government entities and other organizations receiving public funds. Interns may have the opportunity to evaluate the following: fairness of financial statement presentation, the adequacy of internal controls, the efficiency and effectiveness of an entity's operations and systems, and compliance with laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements.
Location
Financial audit internship opportunities are based out of Nashville, Tennessee. Depending on the audit assignment, interns may have the opportunity for limited travel during the summer. Typical travel opportunities are in the Nashville area; however, some may allow for travel to other parts of Tennessee.
Who We're Looking For
We are looking for rising juniors, seniors, or graduate accounting students who are interested in applying what they've learned in the classroom to governmental auditing. To be considered for the internship program, candidates should have successfully completed at least 6 hours of Accounting coursework. Successful interns are those who are adaptable, able to think critically, work well both individually and as part of a team, and are willing to learn and grow. Candidates should exhibit interpersonal and communication skills to communicate tactfully with auditees, coworkers, and others. Interns are expected to apply their classroom accounting knowledge to meaningful audit work.
