Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
To begin our internship we went through a set of training, about the firm and also our specific line of service. We then spent the rest of the internship on client work. We were assigned teams and had daily group calls where the manager would assign certain jobs and get an overview of everyone's progress. Throughout this internship we also had a group project to do with other interns.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very interesting, because I have found it difficult researching the day-to-day specifics of work within finance and audit, so it was great to get a hands-on experience of what happens within the firm.
