Overview
Checking the validity of clients transactions. Filling out a variety of forms. Interacting with the internal team, to make sure that the work is on track. Interacting with the client, asking for any supporting evidence and documents.
Skills
I have drastically improved my analytical skills, whilst analyzing variety of clients transactions. Attention to detail is very important for an auditor as spotting errors is crucial to performing your best. I have also developed my excel skills, as this was a software that I mostly used whilst working.
Responsibilities
From the second week of my internship I was given the responsibility to analyze important client transactions like cash cut-offs, and fill out forms.
Support & Guidance
The first week of internship provided us with a lot of training and walkthrough of what working at EY is like. I started my client work from the second week where my team was always there to help me out if I had any problems. I was also appointed a buddy and a counselor which were the first point of help.
Culture
Everyone in EY has been really friendly and helpful. There is a variety of clubs and societies to join to get more involved with the company and get to know more people. Overall the company offers a lot of support and help and you get the chance to improve yourself drastically.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed my internship, and wished it was longer. However the month of experience was enough for me to get a feel of what EY and my line of service is like and if I would like to continue on with a graduate scheme.
Yes
Research EY and get in touch with people through LinkedIn to find out more about the company and the service lines. Visit the EY office before you start so you are prepared and know your way to the office. Watch some excel tutorials as this will be your most used software and having some prior knowledge is always useful. Research your overall service line and know the sort of work you will be doing.
