Why the Internal Audit Internship Program?

Barclays Internal Audit (BIA) plays a key role in our business worldwide. Independent assurance and insightful challenge are at the heart of what we do, helping to protect Barclays’ assets, reputation, and sustainability, while supporting management of current and emerging risks in an increasingly digital, technology-driven world.

BIA is an independent control function that provides objective, reliable, and insightful assurance to the Board and Executive Management—known as the “third line of defence.” We work closely with the business to strengthen governance, risk management, and controls by regularly reviewing and assessing business areas across the bank, evaluating how effectively risks are managed and whether controls are operating as intended. We then report our findings and work with stakeholders to drive meaningful improvements and ensure issues are resolved effectively.
