Audit Senior Review

On a daily basis I am required to carry out standardised audit tests on financial data to ensure that it is free from material misstatements. I am required to liase with clients on the daily, as well as working efficiently within my team.

Through my apprenticeship I have become much more confident as a person. It has also pushed me outside of my comfort zone to be able to effectively communicate with clients.

Despite being really challenging and working long hours at certain times in the year, it has been a really beneficial experience. I am able to make friends from a variety of backgrounds due to the number of people being on graduate and apprenticeship courses.

The programme is very well organised with your time split between work and study. You are given time off to study but you are also required to study and work at the same time. It would make the experience better if more time was given to study.

When working at EY, you are given a designated counsillor who is there to give you advice and to have your back. This support is very helpful.

You receive a lot of support from your training provider during the apprenticeship. They are always available should you need to email them and they are also very helpful when studying for exams.

The material you study with the training provider directly links in with the work you do daily. Therefore it helps me to perform better.

There are various social events to get involved with including social activities and also various sports teams.

It is a great stepping stone in your career if you wish to go into accounting. There are also a number of opportunities within EY to progress.

It is quite hard work but the outcome is worth it.
