Overview
Visiting and liaising with clients. spend a lot of time examining financial records, carefully reviewing a company's financial statements, receipts, and other relevant documents. It's my job to make sure everything is accurate and complies with accounting standards. A key part of my role is testing internal controls. This involves assessing how effective a company's procedures are in preventing errors and fraud. I work closely with senior team members to understand these controls and document our findings. I record all audit procedures and findings, ensuring a clear audit trail for everyone involved. Time preparing work papers. This involves compiling and organizing all the supporting documentation that will be included in the final audit report.
Skills
I have learnt a lot about accounting standards and specific practises, this was aided by the 2 ACA exams I completed during my time. I have developed my communication skills as a key part of the job is discussing balances with both senior members of the clients team as well as your team. I had a lot of exposure to new ways of working.
