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

I was given a grade of an Associate level 1 as this was my first placement out of three. Most of tasks have been basic audit work, but also was given more complex assignments time to time to build my experience. I had to interact with the audit team as well as the client frequently to proceed with tasks.
