Yes, during my placement I was integrated into teams that were undergoing their audit projects. I spent the first week training and then joined my team and had to complete tasks in order to help complete the project. I was responsible for making sure the work was done and done in time

The main skill I have developed is my excel skills. In the short time that I have worked at RSM I have become very efficient and comfortable using excel to perform various tasks. I have also learnt many accounting skills that I did not have prior to the internship as I do not come from an accounting/ finance background
