Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Compliance Intern will support compliance reviews, documentation, policy monitoring, risk assessments, and preparation of reports for internal stakeholders. Typical requirements include an undergraduate qualification or ongoing studies in business, law, finance, management, or a related discipline, together with good written and verbal communication skills. The candidate should be comfortable working with confidential information, maintaining accurate records, and using Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel. MAS expects an ethical, detail-oriented and proactive individual who can follow procedures, identify potential issues, meet deadlines, and work effectively with different departments. Previous exposure to compliance, auditing, governance, or corporate administration is useful but may not be essential for an internship.
Can I work in Sri Lanka?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Board of Investment factories can bring in technicians and skilled workers after a local-expertise check; other factories need a sector-ministry recommendation.
Before you apply: Some places test factory skills first: Japan's Specified Skilled Worker visa usually asks for a skills test and basic Japanese, and in Singapore, metal workers on a Work Permit must pass a safety course within 3 months of arriving.
Watch for: Line operators are usually hired locally, so expect technicians and managers only (judgement). Each factory has a pre-approved cap on foreign posts.
