    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • The placement allowed me to understand the intricacies of the audit process in PwC . It helped me to learn about the nature of business that my clients were involved in and also understand more about PwC as a whole. It was very enjoyable with a wide range of tasks to get involved with and lots of interesting people to meet!
