  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I'm an associate in assurance. I have to perform a wide range of tasks from data testing to analysis. Every day I work in a team with lots of communication. On top of this I often have a lot of contact with the client as a lot of the work is performed on client site. Responsibilities can include anything from planning and organization to execution and conclusion as well as weeks away for learning opportunities.
