1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I was working on audit procedures throughout my placement. This meant completing files, having calls with client or emailing them on queries. I was also on calls with my team for catch-ups and coaching.

My team was very willing to coach me. It was just that sometimes they had more pressing concerns so my coaching sessions had to be moved back
