Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
On a day to day basis my work involves testing multiple financial statement line items. These are to cover the level of risk identified in the planning stage and ensure audit assertions are completed. This varies per client and the industry. In AWM, the fee model (revenue) is a key area, as well as Cost of Sales. In addition these companies will need a separate CASS statutory audit for compliance.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes. I had to lead high impact areas of testing for compliance with regulations such as SII and CASS.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have learned greater perseverance in the face of challenging tasks, confidence in resolving issues with senior staff, improved my understanding of the AWM industry which allows for a more cohesive testing approach to my work.
One thing I believe I now need to improve on is time management and the understanding of 'why' I am doing a task. To ensure I can apply my unique perspective and finish the work promptly.
