I enjoyed this whole weeks experience. I had the opportunity to network with new people by completing a CSR group project and peer networking session which boosted my communication skills. I also had a great insight into the different types of services provided by BDO such as audit, tax and financial advisory. All candidates had portrayed a positive experience at the firm.
