Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I help the team complete workpapers and test whether the clients numbers are correct. I am also expected to summarise minutes of all client meetings that are held. I perform testing procedures, walkthroughs of client procedures, format workpapers etc.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes I was given a lot of responsibility to discuss updates back and forth with the client and have completed a lot of entire workpapers myself.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have learnt many new skills, in busy season I was able to learn how to manage my time well. I have been able to work as a team better and engage with the client. I have also improve my accounting skills in general as completed 2 of my chartered accountancy exams.
