Audit Intern 2025
Group Internal Audit (GIA) is an independent function supporting the Standard Chartered Board and Executive Management team.

GIA represents the Bank’s third line of defence, we also provide independent assurance on the effectiveness of the management control of business activities (the first line), and the control of processes maintained by risk frameworks and policy owners (the second line).
