Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I worked in EY's International Tax and Transaction Services (ITTS) team. The work was varied and I had the opportunity to experience many different areas of work that the team undertakes. I was involved in drafting MSAs, learning about new tax legislation, and helping the team on client CbCR requirements. Overall, the work has given me insight into EY's Services and how they operate.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
We were given tasks that did not involve much responsibility. However, they still provided us with a good insight into the sort of work we would be doing if we went on to work at EY.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have developed my presentation skills, as at the end of the internship we were required to present on a prescribed case study. This involved researching, gathering, and formatting data, then presenting our findings before three assessors.
