Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Work as part of a team to check a entities financial statements and whether they are a true and fair representation of the company. Day to day, we look at specific parts of the financial statements, and find how they have come to that number and whether that process is reliable or not.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Its very good opportunity, however minimal intellectual stimulation and no work requires you to think critically

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
accounting is a completely different language so I have been able to learn a lot from a technical perspective. Developed teamwork and professionalism

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Extremely well organised. Lots of support and it is clear what is expected of you.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
A lot of support with study leave and people genuinely want you to pass you exams first time.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Good support, course notes are clear and tutors are helpful.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I learn lot more from the job, but basic technical understanding the qualification helps.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
