FS Audit Intern Review

During my internship, I worked across two Banking & Capital Markets teams, gaining exposure to a variety of clients and engagements. I was trusted to take ownership of individual tasks and deliver work independently, helping to build my confidence and professional judgement. I attended client calls and communicated directly with clients to request information, strengthening my communication skills and understanding of client relationships. I also took the opportunity to network with partners and colleagues across the business, broadening my understanding of EY and the wider industry while building valuable professional connections.

Yes, I was given a good level of responsibility throughout my internship. I was trusted to work independently on a variety of audit tasks across two Banking & Capital Markets teams, taking ownership of my work and ensuring it was completed accurately and on time. I regularly attended client calls and communicated directly with clients to request information and follow up on outstanding items, which helped develop my confidence and professional communication skills. Having this level of responsibility allowed me to make a meaningful contribution to engagements while gaining valuable practical experience in a professional environment.

Yes, definitely. During my internship I developed both new and existing skills in a professional environment. I strengthened my communication skills through regular interactions with clients and team members, including requesting information and attending client calls. I also improved my time management and organisational skills by balancing work across two Banking & Capital Markets teams and managing multiple tasks simultaneously. In addition, I developed my technical audit knowledge and became more confident working independently, taking ownership of tasks and delivering work to a high standard. The experience has significantly increased my confidence in both my technical abilities and professional communication.

I received a high level of support throughout my internship. From the outset, team members were approachable and willing to answer questions, provide guidance and explain the purpose behind tasks. I had regular check-ins with colleagues and seniors, who provided constructive feedback that helped me develop both technically and professionally. While I was trusted to work independently and take ownership of tasks, I always felt supported when I needed help. This balance of responsibility and guidance created a positive learning environment and contributed significantly to my development during the internship.

The company culture was very welcoming, supportive and positive throughout my internship. Everyone was approachable and willing to help, which made it easy to ask questions and learn from those around me. There was a strong emphasis on teamwork and collaboration, and I felt included from the start. The firm also organised several social events during my internship, which provided great opportunities to get to know colleagues outside of work and build relationships across different teams.

I thoroughly enjoyed my internship and found it to be a very rewarding experience. Working across two Banking & Capital Markets teams gave me exposure to a wide range of work, helping me develop both my technical and professional skills. I particularly enjoyed taking on responsibility, working with clients, and contributing to real engagements where I felt my work added value. The supportive team environment, opportunities to network with colleagues and partners, and the social events organised throughout the internship all contributed to a positive experience. Overall, the internship strengthened my interest in a career in audit and confirmed that it is an area I would like to pursue in the future.
