Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was an audit intern at BDO and my job entailed working on clients with a team of around 3-4 people. I was delegated work from my seniors and carried out the tasks which I was told to do. After finishing any work my senior would then hand me some more work or if there wasn't any work for the day, I would complete any trainings which I still had left to do.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
During the internship, I was given quite a bit of responsibility, if handed down a piece of work it was expected of me to get it done by the deadline or whenever the manager says to get it done by. This put a lot of responsibility on my shoulders as I had to make sure that no matter what, I was able to get the work done.
