Overview
My role is to assist with the progress of audits, mainly focussing on execution. I will be assigned FSAs that are my responsibility for completing in time with agreed deadlines.
Skills
I have learnt many new skills, especially with proficiency with excel and audit technical skills. My interpersonal skills have also developed a lot since joining as I am constantly working in a team and with audited entity staff.
Responsibilities
Yes I was responsible for sections assigned to me and it was expected that I would complete these by asking for help when I needed it and remembering to answer review points even after I've finished my allocated time on a job.
Support & Guidance
I have received a lot of support and guidance when I have asked for it. There is a lot to learn and people understand you don't really know anything when you first join so are supportive and always willing to help.
Culture
The company culture was good and atmosphere was generally friendly. Social events are frequent and fun.
Your Impressions
I have enjoyed my placement and felt I have learnt a lot in a short period of time.
Yes
If you are thinking about working in audit, BDO should definitely be a consideration when applying. The experience I have gained is very valuable and BDO offer a good working environment.
