Communicating with your internal team and the external clients in order to review the financials of the entity which we are auditing. Need to use professional judgement and integrity to ensure there is no fraudulent behaviour and all monetary records have been accounted for.
Yes, have become much more competent when using Excel and reading financial documents. Furthermore, have developed my professional communication skills.
The people make the job worthwhile, the work can be repetitive and challenging, especially with the difficulty of juggling intense exams. But the people at BDO is what is a huge motivator.
I find the direction confusing sometimes, but usually with the pointers of skills sessions - fairly easy to navigate.
From my experience, teams and understanding when you have exams and revision to do after work.
Catch up calls are fairly infrequent, but don't necessarily need more than they give - would be good to send out more reminder emails for tasks i think
I think it makes the understanding of FS easier, but in regards to my sector no help.
