Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I was working on audit and was working in documenting evidence and validating the transactions which make up the accounts and books of the client.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy it decently, however it can get tiring and repetitive. Luckily I have good people on my team that kept me engaged.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes. I picked up new technical skills and learned how to work in audit better.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
It is ok. There is often times you get allocated to short staffed teams or don't have a client because the resourcing has not been great, leaving you with too much work. Besides that it is pretty good.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Great support. I had issues at the start of my placement and got all the help I needed in great timing.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Good amount
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Decently well, but maybe need a monthly meeting review or something.
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
Yes, lots of socials each week you can attend with your team or social group.
