“The Internal Audit Rotational Program is a great move for talented individuals looking to start their professional career at a financial institution. Our focus on training and on-the-job experiences provide early career colleagues with a solid understanding of the industry. Many of our highest performing audit and risk management colleagues started their careers in the program.” - Jason Towne, Chief Audit Executive
