This internship explores students' roles in supporting audit implementation through direct involvement in financial statement audits, preparation of audit working papers, account reconciliations, substantive testing, and preparation of compiled financial statements. The approach used in this article is descriptive qualitative, employing direct observation and participation during the internship. The results of the activity indicate that student participation can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the audit process, while deepening students' understanding of audit procedures, professional ethics, and the application of Financial Accounting Standards (SAK) and Auditing Standards (SA).
