Audit Senior Review

Day to day roles include liaising with clients to determine financial statement accuracy, discussing challenges with team members and taking ownership of audit sections.

Skills developed include, numerical understanding of several accounting areas, communication skills with individuals at various levels, coaching juniors.

Programme has been positive as I will hopefully gain a prestigious certification alongside developing audit and wider job skills.

Programme is well organised with in-centre tutors being crucial in passing exams. However, back end administration is very poor with constant chasers required to BPP throughout my apprenticeship due to lack of access to resources.

Employer is supportive by providing dedicated study days, managers in the office are also flexible if they are aware of upcoming exams. However, study days are sometimes not sufficient to get through material, particularly for first two advanced exams.

As mentioned previously, strong support received from my employer on this.

Qualification has allowed me to take ownership of more complex areas of audit engagements and practically apply what I have learnt. Development is a key reason for taking the role and this has been evident throughout my apprenticeship.

Yes, employer provides several social events throughout the year with quarterly meetings of the entire department to discuss developments and to socialise with the whole team.

Yes

Employer which pays strongly compared to competitors, managerial team are welcoming and will push you to develop yourself and also learn on a daily basis.
