Trained within the Financial Services audit division of KPMG, focusing on aircraft leasing, pensions and funds. I was employed as an Audit Senior for the last year and a half of my tenure. My responsibilities included planning and controlling audit engagements, managing teams and liaising with the client and the Manager/Partner in relation to any issues that may arise. Apart from auditing my other duties included:• Preparation of financial statements;• Preparation of projected budgets; As an audit senior I was also given the opportunity to take charge of a group of people all of whose work and actions I was responsible for. Teams would vary in size and competency, ranging from juniors to part-qualified seniors. It was my responsibility to ensure that each member of the team was given the work they were capable of doing and also to improve their skills with tasks outside their comfort zone. I was the point of contact for the team and would provide continuous assessment and feedback to ensure that the team was learning and progressing as efficiently as possible.
