Internship Opportunity: AI for Audit

Internship Opportunity: AI for Audit

Your challenges

This internship within KPMG's Digital Assurance and Innovation team in Amstelveen focuses on applying Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to financial transaction data, aiming to revolutionize audit processes. As audits increasingly rely on large volumes of digital records, traditional manual methods struggle to scale. This project introduces a novel approach by modeling transactions as graphs, enabling detection of anomalies such as fraud or misstatements.

Your work will help auditors identify high-risk transactions efficiently and reliably, while ensuring transparency through Explainable AI. This is an opportunity to develop scalable, interpretable tools that make a real impact in high-stakes financial engagements.

This is what you bring

• Currently enrolled in a Master’s program in Computer Science, Data Science, AI, or related field.
• Strong programming skills and familiarity with machine learning frameworks.
• Knowledge of graph-based models and neural networks.
• Interest in financial systems and audit processes is a plus.

What will you do?

• Explore and implement Graph Neural Network architectures for anomaly detection.
• Apply representation learning techniques to financial transaction graphs.
• Integrate Explainable AI methods to ensure interpretability of flagged anomalies.
• Collaborate with researchers and auditors to align technical solutions with audit requirements
• Develop, evaluate, and document methods in collaboration with academic supervisors at KPMG and UvA, with the aim of producing publishable results for leading international venues in machine learning
