As an intern with GYF I had the opportunity to assist with several types of audits including audits of Not-For-Profit Year-End & Interim, Health & Wealth-fare Benefit Plans, and Pension Benefit Plans. Further, I tested several financial statement areas for reasonableness and accuracy and applied audit procedures that supported the financial statement audit opinion that the financial statements were presented fairly and were in accordance with GAAP and GAAS. More so, I was given the opportunity to design and implemented brand new testing for supplemental unemployment benefit plans with the guidance of my supervisor. All the while I worked cohesively with and communicated effectively to my engagement teams and executive levels clients.
