Need advice from EY and KPMG fish. I am helping a college student choose between the KPMG - “Intern, Technology Assurance Audit” and EY (FSO) - “Technology Risk Internship”. Anyone have insight into these groups/nature of work? Thanks!

Both are same practice.

40% it external audit
30% it internal audit
40% advisory woke like it risk management, vendor risk etc.
You start with basic of walkthroughs and control testing but that's cause it's important to know the basics before you sit in board rooms telling how failure of few ot general or application controls can cause financial statement to fail or not. Or how it helps a company strengthen controls. Or how a legislation or regulation will wreck havoc to a company with immature control environment.

If the student likes technology but doesn't wanna go in implementation or coding it's a good field to be in. Plus growth and always job security.

Source - 9 years in this field across 2 countries, worked on global projects with 13 international partners listening to me plus now corporate job where I challenge senior leadership to get their shot together.

Oh most important thing. Have a tough skin and ability to learn.

I believe that for KPMG the new group (mentioned above) has no actual advisory work. It’s all internal/external audit.

I would be shock if EY does 40% advisory work though. Probably closer to 10-20%.

I will say FSO is quite strong as it's highly regulated so given choice go to FSO as we only get financial services clients. Other big4 don't have dedicated teams

Same thing but EY FSO is better brand.
