Grande École Program, 2024

Internal Auditor, Crédit Agricole

France

I work at the Internal Audit Department of the Crédit Agricole Group as an Internal Auditor. The Internal Audit Department ensures proper risk management and compliance with regulations. It plays a key role in enabling the Crédit Agricole Group to secure its development.

In this role, I take part in assignments assessing risk management frameworks across a wide range of issues within the Group’s regional banks or within Crédit Agricole S.A. subsidiaries (for example CACIB, Amundi, CACEIS, LCL, etc.).

Without a doubt, the best memories of my IÉSEG experience are linked to my involvement in student organizations, both within the school’s Junior Enterprise (a student consulting firm) and with IÉSEG Ambassadors (the association responsible for representing the school at forums and open days).

From an academic perspective, I particularly enjoyed the Finance and Macroeconomics courses during my Master’s degree, through which I learned a great deal in terms of professional skills. I also value the courses aimed at developing our soft skills, such as Management through Sports, Theatre, and Creativity.

Thanks to the many interdisciplinary group projects, the IÉSEG Grande École Program taught me how to quickly identify the key issues of a complex project, prioritize tasks, be pragmatic, and above all, work effectively as part of a team. In my profession, this is essential!
