During my time as a Shadow Intern at EY I was able to work alongside the auditing team to learn how to internally review various financial statements in accordance with the IFRS. By shadowing a senior auditor I developed a deep knowledge of financial statements as I learned to audit them by checking for materialities. I was able to work alongside the auditing team which allowed me to practise several auditing procedures while also learning a lot of new skills along the way. This teamwork also develpoed my communication and cooperation required for assignements and projects on a larger scale. The most important skills I learned were:


- Assisting in auditing financial statements by casting/cross casting, mirroring, and tieing.


- I was also able to learn about auditing different accounts on excel such as the cash, expenses, overdraft, etc.

- Worked with sponsored students to help them with course selection, academic deadlines, and Western student services (Purple Care, Student Wellness Plan, My Virtual Doctor, etc.).
- Assisted students in researching job opportunities and understanding requirements for applications.
- Conferred with two other directors and the SRP VP to plan student meetings, organize resources, and coordinate tasks.
- Created documents and PowerPoint presentations in conjunction with other directors to provide sponsored students with extensive information intended to help them adapt to life in Canada.
