Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Was assigned tasks related to audit work being done. Each task that was assigned was explained beforehand in order to get a proper understanding of the work being done and how it needs to be done. We were also placed into teams to carry out an ESG related project based on a hypothetical company.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was a great experience as you see other recent graduates working there and developing and growing. Therefore, it gives you an insight as to what your future maybe like there and the different opportunities that may be available.
