Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Involved with contributing to audits from differing stages in the audit process.
Interacting and meeting with clients, on-site and teams calls.
Exposure to mandatory learning courses, and additional opportunities to expand my knowledge through EY's badges program
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Seniors were not surveilling when they were not helping you
There was the expectation that you were honest and if you were stuck or had nothing to do, there was the support from your counsellor and/or your assigned buddy
Autonomy on client work was extensive considering the fact I was technically the lowest in the hierarchy, EY has a very flat structure
