Auditor Review

I am an auditor, I review our client's financial documents to ensure that they're fair and true, and I ensure all figures and information stated is accurate. I do this by obtaining an understanding of the business, and using various testing methods to determine whether the accounts are correct.

I have learned how to audit, how to test accounts and just general skills specific to accounting. In a broader sense, I have developed better people skills, because as an auditor your work is highly dependent on how you interact with your teams, in fact, it is vital to the process.

I enjoy the work, although sometimes I feel I am not challenged and it is busy work. But when I am challenged, it can be enjoyable. I dislike the culture of the job, I find due to the nature of auditing (spending random weeks with random people) it is more difficult to form relationships with people and as a result it isn't a very social job.

Very well structure, we receive exam timetables, as well as a schedule on where we will be working. I am never confused about where I'm supposed to be and what I'm supposed to be doing, it is well ran in that regard. There is a clear structure also.

A lot of support, we have counsellors and buddies, and various different support systems to help us. Everyone here are generally very friendly and willing to help each other out. I never feel alone or up against it, however difficult the work becomes. I would say I receive a great deal of support.

It varies, we do not get time off for study leave, so if we work long hours before our exam, it is difficult to find the time to revise. We get time off for college, however, just never immediately before the exam. I wish we had set study leave, as it would alleviate pressure greatly.

I have yet to learn any material or complete any exams due to my qualification. EY like to allow you to get settled into the business before doing any exams, so I can not answer the question. There are times I wish I had started my exams a bit earlier.

There is a football team, and plenty of professional networking events. They aren't well advertised however, often you are too busy to attend any even if they did exist. Certainly not as many as other companies that I have seen however, this could be bette r in my opinion.

Yes

Only if this is what they want to do. There are clear benefits to joining EY, but if you don't know exactly what you want from it, then it can be difficult. There is no coasting here, no deciding what you want to do. If this isn't the job for you you will resent it. But, if this is what you wish for, its the perfect environment

Not many, as the interview process was very smooth and the whole application side of things was very easy and I was guided through step by step, I never felt any major pressure. Wear a good suit maybe? We were treat extremely well during the application process, 10/10 for this.
