Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

3/5

I work as an audit trainee. This involves taking responsibility of audit testing on assigned financial statement areas, communicating with clients and working as part of an audit team.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

3/5

I have really enjoyed the graduate experience as the intake has been large and sociable. It has also been beneficial to be on a structured scheme with a qualification.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

3/5

I have developed my communication, organisation and technical finance skills within my role.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

2/5

The professional qualifications team are not very organised which can be difficult at time. However, there is clear and structured progression throughout the programme.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

2/5

The employer provides average support.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

2/5

We receive good teaching. However, the time taken to receive feedback and the quality of the feedback can be lacking.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

2/5

The qualification has elements that really help to develop technical accounting knowledge. However, I believe most of my knowledge has come from on the job learning.
