Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Each day I was involved in reconciliation-based trading controls that ensured the accuracy of the firm's books and records. I was also involved in some project work to maximise the efficiency of the processes carried out by my team.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was individually responsible for 3 daily reconciliations which was a considerable responsibility. These were all thoroughly checked but still gave me a sense of independence.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
