Working within client teams, completing audit tests and writing work papers, taking evidence from client calls.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
There was lots of support provided throughout the placement, including IT inductions to understand the platforms used for internal operations. Also an excel course, teaching all the essential skills that would be required to complete testing and work tasks throughout the placement. There were weekly catch up calls with the whole cohort, focussing on specific skills for example communication, and use of AI.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Everyone was so lovely and welcoming, from all levels of the business. It was encouraged to reach out to anyone and everyone via email or instant message to gain insight about a specific business area or project. After work socials and lunches together were frequent. Mental health was a big topic, and there were spaces in the office to take some time out as well as a wellbeing team who were easily contactable.
