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

The role is within audit, so on a day to day basis you are performing different tests on different financial statement areas, mainly using Excel, writing up your method and results. At times you will need to liaise with clients if a query comes up. You will always be communicating with a team.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have definitely expanded my Excel skills, which were pretty limited when I started. As time goes on, you pick up new things from the people you work with, which can really help the efficiency of your work.

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

Kaplan is great in terms of support, with online tutors always available, as well as your in-class tutor always being available for an email if needed. The online resources are very useful too.

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

I have definitely found that the more exams I have taken has meant I understand my role more, and thus can reach more accurate conclusions and perform tasks with more autonomy.
