Flying Start AS1 Review

I was a junior associate auditor. My daily activities in the office were mainly doing monotonous tasks that are needed to be done for the interim period of an audit. Work on client site was much more varied and I was required to do a varied amount of audit work.

Learnt about the business world in general, gained a much stronger grasp as to how audits are run and the main issues and challenges that the average auditor faces. Learnt a lot about how to audit at a beginners level and I learnt how to act in a professional environment.

I enjoyed the programme for what it was, I learnt a lot about how to audit and the business world. At the end of the day work is work so saying I woke up every morning excited to go work, wouldn't be true, but I appreciated the experience.

Very well structured, easily assimilation into the office, with little/none administration mess ups.

I received a lot of support in all areas. Any problems I had were addressed by my career coach or team very quickly which I was very grateful for.

The work I did in audit on client site didn't have a lot to do with my actual exam. However any time I needed some technical help, all other staff were very knowledgeable and helped me understand what I was doing using their accounting knowledge.

Not a lot, most of the work I did did not require any previous accounting knowledge, the work I mainly did was excel work as opposed to accounting work.

Yes, I joined my social group's committee to organise events, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Yes

Nice work environment, and large career prospects from working here.

Study hard for the interview and make sure you do well at uni/A levels. Large knowledge of accounting not required.
