Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I assist the audit team and carry out the main testing of account balances under supervision of senior colleagues. I am allocated work and expected to manage and complete tasks to set deadlines. I interact with my team daily to collaborate or ask for guidance and will speak to clients as necessary (usually minimal contact). I can be booked on more than one job at once and will work on each job per our schedule.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
High level of responsibility which came to me as a shock since I am at a junior level. I am allocated whole sections of audit files and given the responsibility to complete them to deadlines and to a high standard.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Time management - I always have to work to deadlines so this has enabled me to be more organised and work efficiently to meet deadlines.
IT - Regular use of excel has resulted in a higher level of IT literacy.
Problem solving - working in audit requires a sceptical mind and requires me to think of solutions rather than simply presenting the problem
Team work - audits require a team effort so I am constantly communicating and helping.
