Internship Review at Grant Thornton

The Role

Role Description

Over the 6 week period I spent most of my time working on a team of six interns. We carried out research as contribution to two corporate governance reports on public sector bodies. One will be on Local Government Authorities, the other concerns NHS authorities.
I went out on site to our client, Luton Borough Council, and helped work on the completion of the audit for that authority's 2010/11 draft accounts.
