  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • For the first two weeks, I met up with members of EY at various networking events and learnt what it meant to be a part of the company. In the final week I worked in the Audit department and did various jobs with clients, and actually went out to client offices to see what Auditing is like.

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Before we had even began we had a schedule telling us what we were doing each day and what we would need. Also when the programme had ended I were assigned to a mentor, whom I meet up with every month to catch up about work, college and anything else.
