    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • Gained valuable experience working on four different audits (1 each week), with hybrid working. Worked most days in the office but a few from home. Visited client site twice during my internship which gave me great insight into the communication between KPMG and the clients. Day-to-day tasks were mainly excel based which included analysing depreciation, credit notes and much more.
