Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The role involves checking our third party intermediaries management system and ensuring that we have kept our contract agreements on file and ensure the companies which conduct business on our behalf are properly accounted for. I also screen charities and companies that we collaborate with to ensure there are no reputational concerns from working with them. I also check on our gift and business entertainment requests, to ensure we are not going to be liable for bribery depending on the value of our gifts to potential clients.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was the only intern in my team so I was given a large level of responsibility over my workload.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I've really enjoyed my time here. My team has been really welcoming, but I think I could at times be pushed more out of my comfort zone. This company is great and it has led me to pursue media law- which is a complete testament to my time here!
