Audit Assisstant Review

My role is assisting on client Audits. This entails completing sections of our audit file ready for the manager to review

I have learnt many new skills including bookkeeping and use of Excel

I really enjoy the audit work itself and college is great, but sometimes the commutes to clients mean very long hours and it can be stressful and tiring when you have exams on

I feel like the organisation is very good on my programme, as we are given our schedules nearly a year in advance so we know where will be and can plan accordingly.

This will depend on job to job. The supervisors have been fantastic but sometimes managers fail to understand the need to revise, and so you end up working very long hours when you perhaps shouldn't be

BPP are terrible when it comes to admin but to be fair to them, the resources they have are fantastic and so is the quality of their facilities and staff.

At the moment it has not helped a great deal but that is down to the role I am in. When I start my ACA my understanding will really kick on.

There are lots of social opportunities however because I work in audit, I am often not able to attend these as I am out of the office

Yes

Overall I have found the firm to be good to work for and on the whole they treat you well and are good to work for.

Be confident and be prepared to do a lot of studying outside of work. It is rarely a 9-5!
