Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Work as a junior on audit jobs only, make requests to clients and complete audit tests on different financial areas of clients. Communicate with my senior's and managers on my progress.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
Work is relaxed but reasonably challenging. It can sometimes be difficult to fully fulfill goals of chargeable hours due to delays with clients and a lack of additional work to complete while I am waiting.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
Yes. I started with no experience in this field so I have learned a wide variety of information on accountancy, primarily pertaining to audit
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Training is frequent and decently useful. The structure is not excellent for the first few months as you have no real context for the tasks you are completing and the training structure does not fully support this.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
Support systems are good. Managers and Senior staff are available for discussions and my line manager will deal with any problems I want to discuss with him.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
The support systems here are in place as far as I understand and my experience with the tuition has been good. However, I have not utilized the support from my training provider much
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It is essential, you would not be able to continue the job without learning from the exams
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
These are numerous and well communicated
