1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I am a key part of the team helping to complete the audit of some of the biggest companies in the UK. I have access to some of the biggest people within companies and interact with them daily. Day to day I help complete the audit like any other member of the team and get given different tasks and responsibilities on each job.
