Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role was that of an intern. On a day to day basis, i had to go to the office where there were different inductions and meet and greets planned for me in my calendar. They provided as much exposure as they could by teaching us how to audit the documents, mine was tech risk therefore it was service line specific.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes , we had a buddy each to help us closely. We were put in different client teams where they made us understand the various documents needed and how to process them and gave us the responsibility of doing it, it was ofcourse reviewed later.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have learned multitasking and time management well because the client work is chargeable so you can't take more than a required time frame. I also had various learning about topics and policies of the company and I became better using Excel as most of the work was on it.
