Overview
Audit fieldwork - transaction testing, bank reviews, board minute reviews, Companies House checks, financial statement drafting. Client meetings - participating in client meetings both virtually and in person. Mainly involved listening to what the manager was asking of the client and how this would impact the audit. Team meetings - joining team meetings where the managers would assign roles and identify problem areas.
Skills
Analytical - identifying if there were errors in how transactions were accounted for by the clients. Time management - I was set many tasks that all had deadlines, so managing my time was key. Communication - I have become much more confident in talking to clients, feeding back issues to the team, and networking with other teams in the office.
Business Insight
It was a great experience to be in the Forvis Mazars Birmingham office, and I had many opportunities to discuss career options with managers and partners of different service lines. This has made my decision about which grad role to take a lot easier. The talks from the different partners at the firm were very insightful and being able to ask them questions was so useful at this stage of my career.
Culture
Incredible atmosphere and culture. The team are very welcoming and everyone has time to help you out or answer any questions you might have. The team are also very sociable and keen to invite you to the office socials.
Your Impressions
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Forvis Mazars and would recommend this internship highly. It was a great opportunity to learn more about what audit is like in reality and how it feels to work in a corporate environment.
