Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I would be assigned different activities on the audit file and then try to complete them before asking for help from who I was shadowing. Sometimes this would require me completing excel documents or requesting further information from the client.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of independence and responsibility as I would prepare some tasks all by myself and then just have them reviewed by someone else. I was encouraged by my team to talk in client meetings as well.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
