Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I worked with a team of auditors to deliver high quality financial services. This would involve comparing a companies provided financial draft statements to real numerical results that we, the auditors, had fully tested and concluded ourselves. From here we could make an educated judgement on whether we think the company has been transparent and honest with their finances in a report we would then publish to the company and their shareholders.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, lots. Truly being thrown in the deep end given real work to do was challenging but the best way to learn. I would always have someone I could contact for help also.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
5/5

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have hugely developed skills in microsoft office products, which have come in crucial when making my job handling lots of data much easier.
I have also become much more familiar with how the office works, and how people communicate efficiently and professionally.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
I loved seeing how despite everyone clearly being good friends and joking around with eachother, the atmosphere was still kept strictly professional and always felt productive. It perfectly mixed both the productivity and efficiency of a professional workspace, but without the intimidation of having no friendly faces. I felt very comfortable with the team and everyone was incredibly welcoming whilst also being work oriented and driven.
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?

Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Deloitte
Truly research and understand the career path in accounting, including the study and ACA exams. Its a big commitment, but if you are passionate about the path and know its what you want to do, I couldnt reccoment Deloitte more.
