Audit Summer Intern Review

The role involved helping the audit team with client work and shadowing the team to gain an understanding of how the audit process takes place at PwC as well as the technology used. I also had to manage my time well as I worked on a social enterprise project with other interns. Outside of my daily work, there was an opportunity to get involved in community volunteering for a day.

I have developed upon my existing skills such as communication and collaboration through working with staff and my peers on both client work and the social enterprise project. I've learnt about how to use Aura software that PwC uses for its audit. I have also improved my time management as I had to work to important deadlines.

Yes. I was given responsibility to complete important tasks in a timely manner for colleagues. I had to complete this to a high standard. I was assigned one client throughout my internship and completed audit activities related to them.

There was a lot of support given by employees at PwC regardless of their level. They were always there to help and answer any questions I had. I was allocated with both a buddy and a career coach who both supported me immensely. My career coach helped me with setting goals and understanding them, while my buddy helped me and guided me on where to go or who to contact.

There's a great atmosphere and company culture. Everyone is very friendly, welcoming and supportive. Whenever I asked questions, someone was always at hand to help me and guide me through what to do. There's always events and socials going on so it's easily to socialise and network.

I found it very enjoyable and fulfilling. I got to network and meet with other interns, complete various tasks and I was surrounded by a brilliant team. I achieved what I wanted to achieve when I set out my goals before I started.

Yes

I would say learn as much as you can about the company values. See where you align with these values and come up with some examples where you have demonstrated these. Research the company and learn a few facts. Brush up on numerical and verbal reasoning for the tests and try and take mock interviews with friends, family or university careers team.
