Assurance Associate Review

I am an auditor at EY, where I'm responsible for sampling and testing accounts which we consider to have significant risk in the client that we are auditing, and ask questions to corroborate sufficient evidence to provide reasonable assurance. My day-to-day tasks include discussions with my team in order to allocate tasks and prioritize work, speaking to the client about any areas we are confused on or have recognised misstatements, and working through the audit process from the planning to testing to concluding the audit.

Definitely improved my communication skills through speaking to clients, team-building skills when discussing with teammates and allocating tasks, football skills after joining my service departments football team, my excel has significantly increased and my overall analytical skills have also improved after needing to make decisions over data provided by client.

Its provided me with so many opportunities to not only grow my knowledge on audit, but allows me to learn something new everyday as I get put on different clients throughout the year and get to see how many different businesses operate based on the industry they work in.

From the exams to the work allocation, the resourcing department makes the structure of my programme easily understandable and my apprenticeship coach allows me to see the full scope of my learning, and how my college/exams shall be structured. Therefore it is very well organised.

Significant support on multiple areas, as they provide subscriptions to so many libraries to improve knowledge on any topic I could learn about, and also provide mental health support if need be. They are also very understanding when personal circumstances occur and allow reasonable time away from work when needed.

Significant support. Training provider provides all the tools I need to successfully pass my exams. Already have completed 1 exam and passed first time, and just finished college in preparation for the 2nd exam. Really pleased with the learning process and tutors that teach us.

Really well.

Yes, everyday there are updates from multiple service departments on events going on and socials that occur at the end of a large project, and also have specific diversity & inclusiveness groups you can join such as EY Muslim Community, EY Football, etc.

Yes

Provide you with all the tools to have a successful and prosperous career if you make use of their tools effectively.

Be confident and don't be scared of chasing opportunities yo.u find while being at EY.
