Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Perform different areas of testing to ensure that the financial statements of a company are not materially misstated.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoy but this can be very challenging at times.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
More confident navigating my way around the financial statements of a company. Excel skills have improved. Increased exposure to client meetings.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
The structure is good as I experience a blend of both University and work experience, as well as enjoying my summer and winter breaks. The time between different placements can be quite long though, and so it is difficult to pick things up again when you rejoin.

4/5
There is plenty of support in all different aspects
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Lots of resources and emails
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I am able to apply everything I have learnt and prepared for in exams to real-life work
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
