Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role was to help with different client projects that were currently being worked on, which were typically IT audits. This involved looking at evidence of different controls in their systems and updating files with the current year's evidence. I also had a presentation to do with some other interns from different offices in the UK. There was also the opportunity to shadow client calls and get involved with some internal projects.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I got to work on current client and internal projects within EY so I got to complete tasks which were actually useful. The work was a bit repetitive at times since there was not enough time to get trained for more difficult tasks, but it was still nice to work on real client projects.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

What advice would you give to others applying to EY
I would say to ask as many questions as possible at work and try to get involved with as many different people as possible. The busier that you are, the more enjoyable it will be.
