Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
I worked closely with the Audit Team across the 3 days. On day 1, I worked with my mentor in the Birmingham office towards an audit for a client. On day 2, I had the rare opportunity to join my mentor and the team in the Milton Keynes office, who were leading the audit. On day 3, I was back in the Birmingham office, doing team calls with the Milton Keynes office and teams across the world.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was interesting to learn about the business and the different roles and departments.
