What did you do this summer? This summer I interned at PwC as an Audit Intern. I worked with 2 public clients in the healthcare industry and assisted with planning and execution stage testing and documentation in the Q2 and year end audits. I also sat through several walkthrough meetings with both clients' management and board of directors while helping to document internal control procedures.
What was the most memorable part of your experience? The most memorable part of my experience was being able to sit in on walkthrough meetings while helping my team to document internal control procedures and further probing questions. I was able to hear from the management team and board of directors of both clients which gave me invaluable real-life knowledge about their company and procedures. I was also told by my team that it's rare for an intern to be able to attend these meetings so I heavily valued this experience and it made me feel like an important part of the team.
One thing you have learned during this summer experience? I learned to take advantage of every opportunity and use it to gain real world experiences while expanding my network. Some of my best memories and most valuable experiences came from events that I was unsure about attending but ultimately pushed myself out of my comfort zone to commit to!
