audit intern Review

I am an audit intern. On a day to day, i shadow associates, listen in on meetings, and help with completing evidence gathering forms for our clients. After taking meeting notes, I am able to talk to my career coaches, go through the notes, and understand the client as well as the terminology used.

I have developed my use of Excel, seeing actual numbers and information and being able to compare them in Tests of Details, as an audit process. Also, I have learnt more teamworking skills, as comparing notes with my team about the client has been crucial in our documentation process.

Yes. It was important to manage your own time completely on your own, and be responsible for attending meetings, getting to client sites etc. The managers did not hover over us, making us feel as if we were actually working rather than someone telling you what to do at all times.

We received a lot of support from various people such as buddys, career coaches, student recruitment etc. They were on hand to answer any questions we may have, as well as guide us with informing us of their own career journeys. We were able to speak to anyone in the office even from different LoS.

The company culture was great. The atmosphere, on my floor 3 at least, was cool, calm and collected. People were often friendly, while getting on with their work. People were responsible, they answered questions and were on hand to help and guide with anything you had.

I enjoyed my internship, in that I could meet new people, expand my network and learn new things. I learned about the audit process, that I didn't know about beforehand. However, I did not enjoy the duration, and feel like it was too short.

Yes

I would say be yourself, and ask questions. They like people challenging the team and challenging eachother, so be open and learn. Pay attention to detail, as thats what the job is about, and know some facts and business acumen.
