Overview of the Experience

Please give an overview of what your work experience involved:
4/5
I supported team from 4-15 people on audits of banking and capital market clients. I supported teams by creating detailed trackers to present to various members of the financial management department and the CFO to ensure the client was aware of what was outstanding on their side. I was able to develop the skill of professional scepticism throughout the audit process by not taking evidence at face value and always having a questioning mind. The best part of the placement was developing strong and meaningful relationships with the client and my teams.
