Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Working on Audit Review, including analytics, minutes review and populating numbers. General support for team with tasks that I could carry out with more basic level knowledge of software applications.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, assigned a client team in the first week, and worked with them the whole duration. Was given enough responsibility within reason of my capabilities, only being an intern and not having full knowledge of the software used. However, I felt included in the work, and was able to ask for more if I finished early.
