Shadowing an Auditor Review

The role was to shadow an auditor on a day to day basis, from the office to dealing with clients on site. My role was to watch how he communicated with the clients, make spreadsheets based on the figures that the auditors were checking through. I also had the chance to look through the figures and documents to check for falsifications myself.

I developed my communication skills, and learnt the role of an auditor and what their role is.

I enjoyed the programme a lot.

I felt very valued and special to had been given the experience from PwC, and they constantly reminded us all of how much they valued us.

The programme was well structured, and we had a clear plan of what the week had for us.

I received a lot of support from the training provider

The support I got was mainly from the auditor that I shadowed, although numbers and emails were given to contact the employers.

Very good

They gave us acitivities to do in our spare time

Yes

It was a very good experience which allowed me to see how accountants worked on a day to day basis. Also it allowed me to ask them questions and have a real insight of what the working environment is like with PwC.

I would advise them to be confident with asking questions when they find difficulty with what has been asked to do, or to always ask for more activities when they have no more jobs to do.
