Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Daily tasks consist of meetings with Business Unit representatives and senior management on tasks and reconciliations required to be completed for the month. Reports are performed on a monthly basis, with projects also being completed outside of daily operations.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
As I progressed throughout the internship and especially during the last 6 months my responsibilities certainly increased. My fellow colleagues started to trust me more with daily operations and deadlines, comfortably being more reliant on me. I was also given the opportunity of leading a new standardization initiative project, which has been in effect now for 6 months,
