Overview
Would really depend on the client I was working on and the stage the audit was currently at when I joined the team. This would determine the roles and tasks I would carry out. Primarily, these would be things like bank reconciliations, selecting samples for testing certain FSLI items, administrative documentation etc.
Skills
Developed my audit skills to a much higher level than I had ever learnt at university, such as professional scepticism, judgement etc
Responsibilities
Not major responsibility, but maybe on occasions. However, as I wasn't 100% sure what i was doing then it made it less so stressful.
Support & Guidance
Would depend on the client i was working on and how engaging the team were that I was working with. In my first client which lasted about 6 weeks, I was giving little to no work to do, and the Senior associate in charge was not helpful or willing to give training at all. However, there would be other clients that i was on where this would be the complete opposite. It really depended on the people.
Culture
Again, it really depended on the client I was working on and the team I was with
Your Impressions
There were highs and lows, however I'd probably rate it an overall of 7 out of 10
Yes
Just take every bit of information you can and learn of it. List as much as you can, that is the best way you learn, even if its people on the team talking to each other and not to you
