Overview
Supported the internal audit team, performing analysis of data, attending various audit meetings and interviews, and constructing various user guides for new starters
Skills
Learnt how to use workday and power BI, as well as developed excel skills. Developed team working skills as well as commercial awareness by operating within the office in a professional environment. Also advanced teamwork and leadership skills as well as my written communication and negotiation skills.
Responsibilities
I was given real responsibilities from day 1, although most of my work was double checked, it featured in real audit reports and meetings, and my user guides have been integrated into the audit work pack
Support & Guidance
My manager and others within the team supported me throughout the whole process, encouraging me to perform to the best of my ability, and controlling my workload so that I never worked under or over my capacity.
Culture
Everyone was really nice and friendly, as well as super happy to answer any and all questions I had. I really enjoyed the flexible working environment, operating from within the office or from home as desired.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed the work, especially knowing the direct positive impact it will have within the business and with customers. I also enjoyed the support that was offered towards fundraising and volunteering for our selected charities.
Yes
Make sure you apply for a stream you want to work in, get involved as soon as possible, never say no. Try and network as much as possible and make sure to socialise with the other interns and grads as much as you can.
