Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
On a day-to-day basis, I work on different clients, updating workpapers, rolling over workpapers, doing the testing of balance sheet and p'n'l areas. I also interact with colleagues over Microsoft teams and use software such as Caseware & Microsoft Sharepoint.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy my programme as it allows me to learn new skills such as going through financial statements, looking through different accounts. Analysing debits & credits and learning how to go through balance sheet areas and profit and loss areas of the client's financial statements.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learnt new skills such as analysing financial reports, looking through financial statements and performing the call & cast. I have also developed new skills such as working on Microsoft Excel, Microsoft teams & Microsoft Word.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It is fairly organised as the internal Early talent team in charge of recruitment & training work together with the training provider to provide us with a structured programme that we can use to follow our training plan that is set out for us.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive quite a lot of support from my employer as when I failed an exam, I was required to re-take it and this involved me sitting down with my training partner to decide how to go ahead with the programme.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Considering daily tasks, I would say that I receive a huge amount of support when working towards my qualification.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
On a scale of 1-10 I believe that my qualification helps me to perform better in my role. This is because the responsibilities that I have been given are applicable to my qualification.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
There are many extra-curricular activities that are applicable to me in this organisation. This involves sports events such as Sport's week and a summer ball.
