    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • I worked closely with the Audit Team across the 3 days. On day 1, I worked with my mentor in the Birmingham office towards an audit for a client. On day 2, I had the rare opportunity to join my mentor and the team in the Milton Keynes office, who were leading the audit. On day 3, I was back in the Birmingham office, doing team calls with the Milton Keynes office and teams across the world.
