Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I am working in the Audit, Privately Owned Business team here in the Manchester office. My role involves collaborating closely with Auditors to work on a large client with 16 different entities. On a day to day basis, I have a range of tasks set by my manager and peers, this includes, analysing the financial statements, looking into large figures and testing these to ensure they are correct, as well as communicating with the client.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes. From the beginning of my internship, I was proactive in my approach and constantly asked for new tasks so I can make the most of the experience and learn as much as I could. My line manager has been very supportive in making sure I move around the Audit team to gain as much knowledge and experience.
