    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • I was given different groups to work with, some smaller audits, smaller larger audits, where I helped out in the execute phase of the audit, completing different tests of details, and checking over where work was done before to check it was correct, also attending several group meetings, gaining an insight to audit as a whole


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • I massively developed my communication skills as a result with working with several different teams and participating in group projects and group meetings, my technical skills were also improved as I became more accustomed to the work the audit teams were completing. I learnt new presentation skills as I was inexperienced here before, but got good experience presenting ideas to my teams

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • I was given big responsibilities with having to email the clients we were doing the audit work for, and was present in several important meetings, it gave me a really good insight to the work audits were completing. I was also given many tasks that the people I was working with would have completed, so it felt like I was definitely contributing to the overall audit.


  • Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

    Culture

  • 5. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
  • I really liked the relaxed atmosphere at pwc, whilst I always had tasks to get on with, I never felt completely pressured or stressed, which I think ensured that I completed the work to a greater quality, this also helped to ensure I had great communication with the teams that I was working with

    Your Impressions

  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
  • I thoroughly enjoyed my placement, the entire process was a great experience and gave me several crucial life skills I will likely use in later life. Every day there was something different to be completing, and I ended up building some good friendships with the other interns and employees. Overall, I'm glad I applied in the end to this internship.

  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to PwC
  • Don't feel stressed that you don't know anything about audit before you join, everything you will need to know will be taught whilst on the job, and in a very clear way. If you are interested in the world of finance and accountancy, then pwc offers one of the best opportunities for you.
