Audit Associate Review

To support Audit Teams in the processing and reviewing of financial information. Communicating with clients to obtain information and resources relevant to the audit process.

I have developed a basic knowledge of Accounting so far. My understanding of Microsoft Excel has also increased.

The role is a substantial change from my previous roles and study. I appreciate the programme, but find the knowledge and competency required to fulfil the role excessive.

As of yet, only one exam has been conducted, so my context is from a short period of time. I would state it has been an effective structure thus far, though the juxtaposition of expectations between different staff members is clear.

Individual support is limited to the availability of relevant staff members. As an employer, EY provides substantial support - especially through external resources they provide for wellness.

As of yet, not much. However, I expect this to develop as my training continues and I am exposed to more exams.

My qualification has provided theoretical context to the role. In a practical environment, I would suggest it is not so beneficial.

EY provides many extra-curricular activities based on locations, interests, and opportunities.

Yes

I would recommend EY to people whom I felt would enjoy the role. The role I conduct is attractive to specific interests, so I would not imply that this role or EY is appropriate for all people - as the work and environment is unique from many other employers.

EY is a collaborative environment, and does not expect new-comers to be filled with knowledge. During my virtual role-play interview, I was surprised to see people fail because they failed to put teamwork above personal ambition. Communication, respect for others, and a collaborative spirit will help.
