Assurance – Audit - Japan Business Services – Intern

At EY Assurance, we build a better working world through innovation, so we can meet the evolving demands of business, regulators and investors. Through a quality EY Audit, supported by state-of-the-art technology and the finest people, we build confidence in business and the capital markets while meeting regulatory benchmarks, providing greater transparency to investors and the markets, and evolving the audit to supply more meaningful insights to audit committees and company boards.

Our auditors ask better questions that drive increased skepticism around financial information to protect and serve the public interest. It’s those questions our people ask during an EY audit that help generate wider economic and social benefits today and a strong legacy for a better tomorrow.

Our Japanese Business Services team is made up of experienced men and women with in-depth knowledge of both the Americas and Japanese corporate environments, gained through hands-on experience of serving major clients.
