[INT] AI Audit Practices (6302)

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is a multilateral development bank whose mission is financing Infrastructure for Tomorrow in Asia and beyond—infrastructure with sustainability at its core. We began operations in Beijing in 2016 and have since grown to 111 approved members worldwide. We are capitalized at USD100 billion and AAA-rated by the major international credit rating agencies. Collaborating with partners, AIIB meets clients’ needs by unlocking new capital and investing in infrastructure that is green, technology-enabled, and promotes regional connectivity.

The Internal Audit Office (IAO) is launching a pilot initiative to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can transform internal audit practices at AIIB. Recognizing the growing importance of data-driven insights in governance and assurance, this project focuses on developing a practical proof-of-concept that demonstrates AI’s role in risk analysis and audit engagement. By leveraging advanced technologies such as large language models (LLMs), machine learning, and analytics pipelines, the initiative seeks to enhance risk identification, audit efficiency, and insight generation. Through this project-based Corporate Internship, IAO is fostering collaboration and innovation, positioning AIIB at the forefront of modern audit practices. 

Responsibilities:

The main objective is for the intern to design and deliver a practical proof-of-concept that demonstrates how AI can support internal audit processes, while making the project engaging and relevant. Specific outputs include: 

Develop a prototype concept that from ONE of the following options: 

• AI-Assisted Reporting:

         Create an AI-powered tool using a large language model (LLM) to generate first-draft audit reports from structured inputs, showcasing efficiency gains in documentation. 

• Structured Audit Knowledge Base:  

         Build a centralized repository of policies, procedures, historical reports, and supporting data dictionaries, enabling knowledge-based Q&A across the audit life cycle. 

• Risk Intelligence Dashboard & Audit Assistant interface: 

         Design a dashboard and interface that visualizes key indicators, anomalies, trends, and alerts, supporting audit planning, fieldwork, and continuous monitoring. 

Prepare a methodology and governance note, present the completed prototype, findings, and recommendations in a final report or slide deck.   

Requirements:

• Currently enrolled in a Masters/MBA or PhD program, in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Information Systems, Finance, Accounting, or a related field.  
• Strong academic record and demonstrated interest in applying technology and analytics to risk management, audit, or financial processes.
• Basic understanding of machine learning concepts. LLMs and data analysis; experience with Python or similar programming languages is a plus.
• Excellent communication skills.
• Great team player.
• Fluent in oral and written English. 

AIIB is committed to diversity, transparency, and inclusion. We believe our strength comes from having a team with the right diverse skills, experiences, and abilities selected through a merit-based competitive process. We actively encourage applications from people from both within and outside AIIB members, regardless of nationality, religion, gender, race, disability, or sexual orientation.

Join in AIIB’s mission to promote sustainable infrastructure investments and to improve social and economic outcomes in Asia and beyond.

Previous experience and qualifications will determine the grade and job title at which successful applicants will enter AIIB.
