It involved auditing an entity by performing testing and checking evidences. We had to prepare EGA's which contained all the information about the client.
Yes, I have improved my excel skills and improved my communication skills as well. The new skills developed were learning how to use the AURA software and the whole process of auditing an entity.
The programme is beneficial and knowledgeable so I do enjoy it quite a lot. It could have been way better if my first placement was in person instead of work from home this year.
It is quite well structured as the concept of few months being allocated for university exams and lectures and few months being allocated for placement has worked out well without any confusion.
I do receive full support from the employer as they do understand we are flying start students and have our placement for 3 months. They do understand we are new to the work environment and hence provide full guidance.
I do receive full support from my training provider as we get a proper break to study for our exams and also have revision classes being conducted.
It does help a lot, as the theoretical knowledge gained while learning audit in university is applied practically while working.
Yes, there are extra curricular activities such as group socials, quizzes and meditation/well being events.
Yes
It is because I got a good exposure to the work environment and it helped me understand the whole process of auditing better. It also provides benefits and jo security to their employees.
I would tell others to be well prepared for their interviews while applying to PwC and have a basic idea of the firms structure, purpose and guidelines, prior to applying.
