    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • I was given a range of tasks throughout the different teams I worked with. I really enjoyed being given responsibility of running consolidation data checks and analysing gaps in the reporting standards when in the Sustainability Reporting Team. The team were really helpful and welcoming from the beginning and if you are looking for an accounting internship, M&G's programme exposes you to a lot of important areas in accounting.
