Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Primarily the simpler tasks of the audit are given to a staff/associate - sending chasers to clients, financial tie-outs and checklists for example. Minimal severe responsibilities at this level but this is expected to ramp up soon
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I do enjoy the programme

Plenty - I have not had to request for much support as of yet but I know how I can if I am ever in that situation
