Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I worked on the same level as new graduate joiners. Starting my job consisted of completing simple tasks on an audit but as I gained experience I began working on more complicated matters including field managing a couple of really small audits.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
At the end of the placement I was given quite a lot of responsibility but I always felt that there was support when I was taking these steps.
