Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

As an Audit Intern, I supported several statutory audit engagements, assisting with audit testing, walkthrough procedures, evidence review, financial statement disclosures, and the preparation of key audit documentation. Working closely with seniors and managers, I gained experience in financial reporting, audit methodology, professional communication, and delivering work to tight deadlines within large engagement teams.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes. I was trusted to take ownership of a variety of audit tasks across multiple engagements, including drafting key audit documentation, performing walkthrough procedures, reviewing supporting evidence, and assisting with statutory accounts and disclosure work. While I received support from seniors and managers when needed, I was encouraged to work independently, exercise professional judgement, and manage my own workload. I felt that my level of responsibility increased throughout the placement as I became more familiar with audit processes and gained the confidence of my teams.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

Yes, I developed a wide range of skills throughout the internship. From a technical perspective, I gained hands-on experience of audit methodology, financial reporting, statutory accounts, walkthrough procedures, and evaluating audit evidence. I also improved my attention to detail and my ability to apply professional judgement when assessing documentation and identifying areas requiring further investigation. In addition, I developed my communication, time management, and teamwork skills by working closely with seniors and managers across multiple engagements, balancing competing priorities, and incorporating feedback into my work.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

I received a high level of support throughout the internship. Seniors and managers were approachable, willing to answer questions, and provided constructive feedback to help me improve. At the same time, I was trusted to work independently and take ownership of my tasks, which created a good balance between guidance and responsibility. As I gained experience, I was given more autonomy while still knowing that support was available whenever I needed it.

The company culture was welcoming, supportive, and highly collaborative. From the beginning of my internship, I felt comfortable asking questions and seeking guidance from colleagues at all levels. Despite working in a professional and fast-paced environment, team members were approachable and willing to help, which made it easier to learn and contribute. I also appreciated being trusted with meaningful work while still receiving constructive feedback and support when needed. Overall, the atmosphere was friendly, inclusive, and encouraged both personal and professional development.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend EY to a friend?

Yes

What advice would you give to others applying to EY

Be proactive, ask questions, and take every opportunity to get involved in different pieces of work. You are not expected to know everything from day one, so focus on being willing to learn and receptive to feedback. Building relationships with your team is just as important as developing technical skills, as colleagues are often happy to share their knowledge and support your development. Finally, stay organised, manage your time effectively, and don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone, as this is where you'll learn the most.
