Audit Associate Review

As an audit associate I work with a lot of different clients, from local colleges to multinational companies, to make sure that there annual report for their business are correct and within the law and international report standards. On a day to day basis I work with colleagues and clients to perform the best work I can to an grat standard

Skills are important part of any job and while doing this job and I've honed and developed plenty of skills over the time I've been here. From my communication skills with my colleges and clients to new skills I've developed while working on excel and other digital tools

I very much enjoy the work side of my programme. Being able to work on some very exciting and interesting clients is a great perk of the job. Also having a great set of colleges has mad the programme very enjoyable and sometimes make it feel less like work and more like seeing some mates.

Very well organised and well put together as far as the structure of the content goes. When it comes to more administrate things there has been some issues, things like booking of exams and taking time out due to external circumstances. But this is a very specific case in my case and for most it is smoother.

For me this is what helped me through the tough times in the first few months. I had a buddy that is apart of the year above me that helps with getting use to the life of work and then a career coach who helped me tremendously with the issues I had with exams.

My training provider does help when it comes to learning the content for the exams. Giving us booklets and online material to go through and help us to pass the exam. As well as coaches that can help with questions went they do come up and help you understand the content more.

It helps me a lot when it comes to my role. I came from a Maths background and did not have much idea of accounting. But the qualification helps you to get to grips with the job and what type of things you are going to see while doing the role.

Yes there are plenty of stuff outside of working hours to attend and get involved in. We have plenty of committees like a sport, social and charity committee that set up things for us to and blow off some steam. Things like 5 a side football to lazer tag there is plenty to do.

Yes

It is a great place to work. Its a very competitive job to get so if you can I would take the opportunity with two hand and enjoy it. There is also a lot of perks to the job and working for PwC things like working away in places that I personally would never thought I'd have a chance to see let alone work with.

I would start by saying you don't need an accounting background, it does help but its not something you'll be worse of if you haven't done it. I would also make sure you apply early as it looks better on you and helps your chances of getting the role.
