Associate Review

I conduct audit work for Financial services firms, specifically Insurance companies. Day to Day I work on accounts which I assigned, such as premiums or claims, I then look to audit that balance by speaking with the client.

I have learned how to collaborate, work individually, manage my time and speak in a way which is meaningful and concise. I have furthered my accounting knowledge and become knowledgeable on areas of insurance.

The learning is set up well and I have sufficient resources, this means that I enjoy the learning. In terms of the client work I do, it is interesting but there is a lot of work at times.

It is well organized and I know what is expected of me. The content I learn is set out so that it does not clash with my work commitments. The only downside is that sometimes things are communicated in good time and its hard to plan.

There is great support but as it is big business it does sometimes feel as though we are lost in the system, I do understand that this is most likely just the nature of working for a big business.

We receive good support when it comes to learning, we have a decent amount of study time but it does feel rushed at times as we have a quick turnaround when it comes to learning and exams.

It helps a lot but on a broader scale, the work I do is specific to insurance, my qualification is more general.
