Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Support my assigned team with various aspects of the audit process. Review financial statements and identify any potential misstatements in these records. This includes taking samples from documentation and verifying these samples have the required evidence (e.g. invoices)
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
A fair amount of responsibility - we are expected to do the work correctly and it does count towards the final result, but mainly doing smaller tasks. It is expected that if you are unsure what you are doing you ask so as not to do something wrong.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
