Overview
As an auditor, my daily tasks would involve processing and reviewing financial statements. This includes conducting pre-dispatch checks, examining creditor and debtor accounts, and testing trial balances. I ensure that prepayments, wages, and all transactions have a clear financial trail. If any discrepancies arise, I communicate with clients and request evidence to support the transactions. Additionally, I manage client relationships and address any mistakes or errors that we identify during the audit process
Skills
Over the course of my internship, I’ve not only honed my time management, organizational, and communication skills, but my attention to detail, patience, and ability to collaborate effectively with colleagues have also significantly improved during audit engagements. Additionally, I’ve become proficient in using Excel, especially in conjunction with the data snipper software—a tool I hadn’t encountered before.
Business Insight
Understanding the business and exploring potential roles was incredibly fascinating. I enjoyed learning about various roles and engaging with colleagues from different service lines to understand the differences between our roles. This internship has solidified my desire to work in this field and company—whether it’s the vibrant culture, the city, the breadth of work, or the dynamic nature of the Privately Owned Business service line.
Culture
Everyone was very friendly and happy to help out with whatever questions you had.
