Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
An auditor examines financial records, assesses internal controls, and ensures compliance with regulations. Daily tasks include planning audits, testing controls, analysing data, documenting findings, and communicating with management. They require strong accounting knowledge, analytical skills, and attention to detail.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoyed every aspect of it, although some workshops were a bit lengthy and boring. My main tutor was fantastic and with time it felt like I gained another friend.

This role is new to me as a whole. Everything that I learnt is new, so my skill set is growing.

5/5
Clear plan was set up at the beginning, reviews conducted on regular basis and adjustments made if needed. Well executed plan overall.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I cannot thank my line manager and apprenticeship coordinator enough for the support and help I received during my studies. They were always there for me with advice, open mind, understanding and encouragement. I could have not accomplished all of this without them.

My tutor was absolutely amazing. Always ready to help, understanding, accommodating and motivating. Could not ask for a better one.

There is always something social going on that everyone is welcome to join, from professional meetings/trainings or simple catch up coffee mornings.
