Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The role in audit involved joining an audit team. Depending on the stage of the audit responsibilities varied, but in general this involved checking documents to ensure they were accurate and appropriate.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was given an appropriate level of responsibility. I was challenged with tasks that were significant and conducted independently, however I was aware that I could refer to senior colleagues for advice, and that this work would be reviewed after completion.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I enjoyed the internship significantly. Despite the internship having to take place online due to Covid-19, it was still ensured that the workload was sufficient but not overbearing, and support was still easy to access. Online events provided by PwC helped to break the online monotony and simulate real-life social events.
