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

For my first placement with PWC Manchester B&CM i was involved with a wide range of different tasks and a wide variety of different clients. As part of the audit team some tasks i would undertake include control and substantive testing, documentation and having discussions and walkthroughs with clients.

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

My first placement really helped me to improve on my people skills through communicating with my team and clients and also my microsoft excel skills which was especially important working with PWC as i spent most of my time on placement working with their Aura EGA system, which is an excel based system.
