Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
You work within a team (or multiple teams depending on how many clients you are booked to) to support with an audit. Day to day you do a variety of tasks depending on the stage of the audit and what needs to be done. the majority of time is spent on data analysis tasks.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given as much responsibility as is possible in audit. Regulation and internal processes do put a restriction on the tasks you can carry out independently, but in these instances you can always ask to shadow a more senior team member carry out the task.
