  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • You gain the trust and respect of collegues more by the end of the audit, therefore your responsibilities are improved the longer you are there.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Studying Accounting and Finance and the tests I have carried out and the skills I have leaned will deffinately be useful. Always good to see how what you learn is transfered into the real environment. Would reccomend to any student - good, valuable experience.
