  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I worked on a number of clients, completing different areas throughout the file. I interacted with both the engagement team and the client in order to get answers i needed and to complete my work. I was responsible for Cash in the majority of the audits i worked on. I am a junior member of the audit team and had to document all my work clearly and efficiently.
