Digital Audit Associate Review

I work on the Audit of companies IT systems alongside completing my ACA qualification. This involves communicating with clients to work out how their IT and Financial systems work in order to help in preparing the financial audit of the companies. I work in mixed size teams for various clients

Before starting my apprenticeship i had no technical accounting knowledge. Since starting and doing my apprenticeship i have completed 10 exams which have helped to grow these skills. further more my ability to use microsoft excel and microsoft excel has greatly increased as i have to use them every day

I enjoy the work side of my apprenticeship quite a lot. This is becuase i find it interesting and it challenges me. It is literally not possible for me to enjoy the admin side of my apprenticeship any less. it is long and arduous and i have to do it on top of work

the admin side of my apprenticeship is very structured. This does not mean it is structured well. I have to have 6 weekly catch ups which require a lot of tasks including many long essays. I never have time for these during my work hours so they take up my own time

I receive a lot of support from my employer as they give me time off to study for my exams which is not always the case for these accounting firms. Howevr i could still do with more time as i end up having to revise on weekends for a long time

they provide some good support as they provide multiple weeks of college towards the exams. they also provide help outside of this and are always willing to respond to emails. in some instances they try to help too much and provide me with far too many admin tasks that arent helpgul

Beyond the fact that the qualification is a required qualification to work in my industry and as such is totally necessary and so obviously helps me perform better, the accounting knowledge that i have gained through completing the qualification is very very necessary to perform my work to an effective standard

yes there are many extra curricular actvities to get involved in at my work for example, social activities, sports teams, and professional networking events. This includes regular 5 a side football games which are organised for every week and a sports and social committee which organises events for eveyone to do

Yes

I would recomend Price waterhouse coopers to a friend to work at because it is a very good name to have on your c v. further more the vast array of social activites to take part in as well as the use of flexible working hours is very appealing to me

I would let them know that it is very hard to get a job here because of the large amounts of competition. i would also say they should really evaluate whether they want to do the exams because they are very stressful and as such might not be for everyone
