Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I work within an engagement team doing the simpler tasks in the audit, this might include basic accounting exercises, or more admin based tasks.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoyed learning new things and getting involved in more complex parts of the audit.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I've developed a lot of confidence since starting the job, my communication skills have rapidly improved. my knowledge has improved a lot aswell

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Jobs are well organised, the transition between clients is important ands i found having a meeting to explain what the exact status of current work is important and helped me stay organised
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I'd receive nearly daily email about well being and health this indicates they do really care, they also promote a caring culture, joining morning meeting i was always asked how i was and there was always time for the team to have a casual catchup.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Any questions i had were normally answered, i had a range of people i could ask if i needed to.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
The qualification has helped a lot with the knowledge aspect of my job but i think the practical side isn't addressed fully. Spending time in university using accounting software would help massivly.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
Yeah my inbox was full of invites to well being events and team building excercises
