CASE STUDIES FROM THIS EMPLOYER

 
Inderpal-Dhillon]

Inderpal Dhillon - CRA International - Associate/ Trainee Chartered Accountant

In forensic accounting, there is a great diversity of work. Over the past year, I have been involved in a wide-ranging variety of cases, all completely different from the last.

Hannah-Beaumont

Hannah Beaumont - Trainee Accountant - Smith & Williamson

I wanted to do the ACA qualification as I thought it would open a lot of doors. Through doing audits, I get to see lots of different firms, so I can see what I eventually want to go into.

Marcus-de-Pian

Marcus De Pian - Assistant Consultant in Tax - PwC

I advise clients - including household-name companies such as Mars and Amazon - on the tax implications of sending employees to work outside the UK. That involves meeting these clients to brief them on any necessary compliance issues relating to these international assignments.

Sangeeta-Siva

Sangeeta Siva - Associate - Deloitte

I spend most of my time at clients' sites. As I work in audit, the overall aim is to work on behalf of clients' stakeholders to ensure that the information in their financial statements is fair and true. This is more varied than it sounds, and can include performing tests, talking to clients about what processes and systems they use, and managing people just below me. I spend anything from one week to a couple of months at each client's site.

Aveek-Ghosh

Aveek Ghosh - Audit Assistant - KPMG

As an auditor, my job involves testing and investigating underlying records that constitute the statutory accounts for a company. I go to different companies, and gather information that is deemed necessary for my audit procedures.

Anil-Sharma

Anil Sharma - MBA in Accountancy

I borrowed and used all my savings. The living costs and fees were around £40,000: once you factor in lost earning capacity, the total cost is more like £100,000. But the cost was never a deterrent. Long-term, I took the view that it was worth the investment.
