Flying Start Degree programme - FS2, More London Review

Working on an insurance client, auditing their accounts using IFRS and Solvency II. Each day I would be testing material balances and questioning any differences. Throughout placement, I was involved with planning, execution and completion for each audit. Working on a range of business eg bank, investments and PRA correspondence.

Constantly learning and developing skills from technology, handling clients and performing high audit quality work

Has its highs and lows. Mainly was a good experience.

Program was more structured in person from previous years than in this COVID placement. Still was relatively smooth though.

From managers directly involved with me, a lot of support. As a whole business though, it could be lacking.

Reasonable amount

I feel like they are two different training exercises - I find it much easier to learn by doing the placement so theory from uni/pwc can sometimes confuse me. only when i have actually done it with them, it makes more sense.

Many social activities are offered, both as a team and as a social group for the whole business unit

Yes

It's an experience that I think people can benefit from, whether or not they stay there for a long period of time is a different question

make the most of everything that is available to them and constantly ask questions
