The Role
I really enjoyed my internship, it gave me an insight into audit and the way a professional firm works.
All of the staff were friendly and welcoming, joining a new team pretty much every week was nerve racking but my colleagues made me feel welcome straight away and made me feel part of the team.
I was able to ask lots of questions if I was struggling and I was given an appraisal manager who guided me throughout the full 6 weeks
My weeks were busy, it's a lot more work than university but once I got the hang of it I preferred to be busy as it meant I was getting stuck in with the job
I was set my own tasks and was given a lot of responsibility when completing sections of the audit on my own.
