Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I’m an audit trainee so day to day I converse with the senior and complete audit work.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy the job but naturally the exams are stressful
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I’ve learnt so much about audit and developed my understanding of accounting
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
From my regional office it’s 10/10 however a lot of the exam/training is centralised and the communication from that team is fairly poor
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Manager and buddy system is incredibly helpful
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Support is there if you need it but they don’t constantly check on you and if you’re okay which I like as it gives me independence
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
All exams I’ve taken, I’ve been able to apply in my job
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
I believe so, difficult within the current circumstances but quizzes/fun days have been organised.

Would you recommend BDO to a friend?
Yes
Why?
It’s a really good company with amazing support enabling me to get the qualifications I need/want.
