Its very good. I have only two comments to make it a bit better.1. Start your letter with Dear Recruiter instead of Dear Sir/Madam. "Dear Sir/Madam" is very old-fashioned and just isn't used anymore in the professional world.2. If this cover letter is in the body of an email, the statement Application for the Position of Audit Associate would be a good subject line. In that case, do not put it at the start of your cover email. If your letter is being sent as hardcopy or as a Word attachment to an email, put that statement below the inside address and above Dear Recruiter.
