Internship Review at BDO

The Role

Role Description

I worked out at clients sites to conduct an audit on their financial accounts. You would have to enquire about the clients business, thus client interaction is important. I also conducted testing on controls and processes. I was given a stock take exercise at a clients manufacturing factory. They also exposed me to a couple of days of corporate finance and sales and marketing.
