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

I am apart of the London office however placement was virtual this year due to the pandemic, on a day to day basis I am apart of an audit team, testing detailed transactions and speaking to the clients on daily calls with any issues that arise.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have become more knowledgeable and confident this placement especially as everything is virtual, you are expected to speak to the client infront of the whole team which can be daunting at times.
