Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Shadowing more senior staff, and assisting them with their work
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
No. Although i was given tasks to do they were very basic, mainly admin tasks and all audit tasks consisted of just checking numbers, dates, punctuation and copying in more data. The most responsibility was given for the social enterprise challenge. I understand maybe i do not have enough knowledge to assist with more important tasks yet, however i would of liked to be pushed more.
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 developed a wider understanding of audit in general,
however i would not say that i have developed any new skills due to the low level of difficulty of the work. I have developed a greater understanding of some of the audit platforms such as wizard.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
Minimal. I was given few tasks, my mentors were good at explaining any task given to me, however, i did not receive any real guidance and was often left having to constantly ask for more work. Apart from one of the placement students being extremely supportive.
