  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • When out at clients most of the time I had work to do. Only on a few occasions was there nothing I could help with in the audit but since I was involved in an intern project and presenation, there was always something for me to work on.

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

    • I think the skills I have learnt here will greatly help when I return for my last year of my degree. This will also carry forward to once I have graduated and I am working towards my CA.
