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

    • Over a 12 week placement commencing in January, I work on various clients, from client site and the office (Embankment Place). I work in a team of around 5-8 people and I am assigned specific areas to test within the audit. Although I am coached when necessary, I am still responsible for communicating with the client, documenting my own findings and performing my own testing.
