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

Day to day i am involved in the audit of numerous insurance companies - this involves checking the figures that they are stating in their annual accounts are true and fair. Therefore it involves a lot of testing of supporting evidence to confirm the balances are correct.

BPP have been excellent in providing an adequate amount of support to us - the tutors all go above and beyond to help us. Sometimes the marking team can let us down in terms of providing very little feedback on our mocks which is vital for us getting better.
