Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was required to complete auditing activities such as existence and completeness testing, ETB’s, take notes on client meetings and generally work to contribute to my engagement and the team. I would be given around 3 tasks a day and I would complete these to the best of my ability, making sure my work was of a high standard and correct. I communicated well with my team and asked questions when I was confused.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a good amount of responsibility to complete tasks correctly and coherently. I was trusted to work independently and complete the work to the high standards required of EY.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
