Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Introduced into the world of audit in the best way. You are mentored by others as you learn how to audit. Audit is different everyday as audits are cyclical. You can be planning, in interim (prep for busy season) or in busy season! Each stage leads to different work and client interactions!
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes! Not too much but as managers grew to know me they allowed me to gain more responsibility. This allowed me to move at my own pace, I didn’t feel overwhelmed and I had support all the way.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

So much which was a surprise. The culture I experienced was amazing. Truly supportive, a manager said to me that everyone benefits if I can be independent so they are more than willing to help.
