    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • The first day was a virtual introduction to all things Pwc! We learnt about PwC's diversity policies, mental health initiatives and spoke to partners from underrepresented backgrounds. The following two days consisted of meeting the fellow students on the scheme, shadowing our PwC supervisors and speaking to people of all seniorities about their career at PwC! I undertook audit tasks and sat in on calls for ongoing matters which really developed my knowledge of how audit teams work. This experience was incredibly insightful and enjoyable; I would thoroughly recommend applying!
