Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Would work in audit on wealth and asset management as that was the team I was assigned to. My role would mainly consist of jobs that a first year at EY would be set such as referencing the tick and tie to the lead or doing tasks such as impairment/JE testing. When I was not doing this I would usually spend my time doing online learning.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
About as much as you would expect an intern to be given. I was trusted to carry out tasks but nothing too groundbreaking
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Yes, I have learnt what it is like to work in an accounting firm such as EY. Whilst there aren't any specific skills that I can think of that I've picked up, it has been good to work in a team and it pays off to be inquisitive. It has also made me feel more comfortable in a working environment
