Internal Audit, Risk Management Group Review

I was given a variety of projects and tasks to work on. I was regularly provided with networking and team events.

My team arranged a vast amount of social events to welcome me including lunch time and evening meals, a day of archery, karaeoke night and lunchtime gym sessions. They encouraged me to voice my opinion in meetings and gave me challenging tasks to push my development further. They consistently asked if I needed help with anything and always took the time to sit down and explain a new piece of work I was given or to take me through step by step. They also marked some of the essay type work I completed

I had weekely catch ups with my manager, mentor and division director to discuss areas I had enjoyed, would likie more exposure to and what I could work on to achieve the objectives I set for myself at the start of my internship. I was also provided with a mid-term and final appraisal where I completed a self review and my manager also completed a review. I found the related meetings extremely valuable for what I could improve on and boosted my confidence with the positive feedback that I was given

I was kept busy daily with a variety of interesting tasks, however I did not feel overwhelmed with my workload and staff always checked that I could manage another task before asking me to do it. I also had a manageable working day that finished at around 5.30. I was encouraged to leave the office when I wanted rather than feeling pressured to stay for face time.

I was invited along to client meetings and by the end of my placement I was given the opportunity to run the meetings with clients and to just have a team member shadow me. I was also encouraged to email and call up the vaious clients to request documents and book meetings

My communication and IT skills have grown exponentially

Within my team there was a very relaxed atmosphere. The team had a great sense of humour and consistently berrated the division director that sat on the desk!

The first week was dedicated to training and allowed us all to establish friendships within the group of interns. On my first day on the desk I was provided with a timetable for my 9 weeks

Everyone was extremely friendly and willing to offer career advice as well as aid me with the work that I was set. Various networking meetings were set up with the heads of departments who also took a keen interest in our development.

At the end of my placement my team showed their enthusiasm for me to come back as a grad. they also encouraged me to keep in touch with them all

I always had lunch with the other interns in my department and we occasionally went out. The HR team provided us with social events

London location - london prices! however, all of the socials i went to were paid for by the company!

Great - always somewhere new to try in london! there was a range of bars just meters fromt the office

My team were very sociable and always made an effort to include me in their firday night team events
