Audit Intern Review

It was an enjoyable experience, the work was challenging however there was a good support structure around me so I could gain assistance if needed.

I felt more valued when I was working on a project for an extended period of time, rather than just a couple of days. I gained a better relationship with the client and the on site team. It was difficult to get really involved with the work if I was there for a day or two.

There was great central support, general workshops etc on the first day, however once I began work at a local office the support reduced. I met my 'buddy' by chance during my last week which seems poor. There didn't appear to be anyone for me to report to in my office or go to with queries.

I haven't returned to my degree yet.

Relatively, perhaps a more concrete training and a structure for the entire placement would have been better

Good, people happy to help, but perhaps a social event would have aided interaction

There was training to use the general audit software and ethical training, but little apart from that. Most training was done on the job

A lot, the day to day work and travelling was typical of a full time employee and the tasks undertaken would have been done by other employees if I hadn't done them.

Not a huge amount, there wasn't a lot of time to get involved in the social aspects or the outside the office activities. It wasn't made entirely clear what I was entitled to as an intern rather than a full employee. However I got a general feel for the company.

Definitely gave me more information, however I haven't made a final decision yet so difficult to say.

Pro rata

Yes but I was unable to attend, an alternative was due to be arranged but it never happened

See above

Only through my own research

Yes, a good experience working for a renowned company in an interesting area.
