Sample cover letter for Internship position at KPMG

This letter serves as my initial step to applying for the 2016 winter internship program of audit practice referenced at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign I-link database. I am an undergraduate senior majoring in Accounting and currently enrolling in the Mater Accounting of Science program of UIUC. As an accounting student, I know my leadership activities and working experience will make me an asset to the audit practice position in KPMG.

Through my experience as a vice president of Tzu Chi Association at UIUC campus, I developed strong leadership skills by planning fund-raising events and leading members to voluntarily help in Meadowbrook Nursing Center. I lead the organization raised more than $500 a day to support the Power of Five project in Africa and built a great reputation among all charitable organizations in UIUC. I believe my leadership skills will fit well with business environment in KPMG.

In addition to developing leadership skills at campus, I also developed analytical skills and teamwork skills from real-situation work. In summer 2015, I worked as an internal audit intern in a national recognized commercial bank named Hua Xia Co., Ltd. I joined a team of three to audit the financial statements associated with marketing expense. I independently checked the invoices, matching the number from documents with financial statements. Using the audited financial statement, our team provided internal control suggestions to the senior managements. I believe in this internship program, I developed strong analytical skills by conducting the risk assessment in the internal control designing and teamwork skills by communicating with team members and senior managers.
