Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
This role involves attending meetings with your engagement team and/or client and filling out the standardised Audit excel documents that complete relevant EGAs (evidence gathering activities) such as substantive analytics, test of details and so on. These EGAs differ for the relevant FSLIs (financial statement line items). In order to fill out some of these EGAs you have to use the client invoices, bills, bank statements and so on in order to corroborate the testing.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given plenty of responsibility from the beginning, for example I was given a whole Financial statement line to complete. Even though I was given responsibility the guidance throughout was incredible and I never felt overwhelmed, and knew I could go to my team with any question and not have it deemed as a 'silly' question.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
This one is harder to answer because the internship was virtual. However, despite this the culture of PwC still radiated through. We had one social a week and there was very much so an open atmosphere and it did not feel pressurising.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
This internship was very enjoyable! It would have been lovely to have the full 6 weeks in person, however the 3 virtual weeks were still nonetheless insightful and gave a very good overview of what auditing is like.
