Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As an intern in the audit department we are booked onto jobs for clients as part of the audit team for them. You help complete various different parts of the audit depending on what step you are on. The juniors and seniors give you help and guidance through this. There are also various intern projects you have the potential to complete which help you become more familiar with the company.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes. As Evelyn's audit department isn't as large as one of the big 4's you get to be a bigger part of the company and are given more responsibility which is extremely valuable experience.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
