    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

    • Learning about the ethos of NatWest, its corporate environment, and some of the products and services NatWest provides. This includes at least 2-3 sessions / training workshops per week. Two out of the five days of the working week, we have time to take part in a business improvement project, and a similar amount of time to get involved in a CSR project. For the other three days, we work in Internal Audit, shadowing audits, learning about the internal audit processes, or, in later weeks, actually getting involved in audit work
