First blog post of 2011, and I must say I’m surprised April has dawned on us so quickly! Hope all you uni students are enjoying a much deserved break.

We had the interns in at the end of 2010 - coming in to the work environment all fresh from uni not knowing much about audit provided for some quality moments in the audit room. But really, they have been a great bunch and we will no doubt see some of them again soon. And… I’ve held off writing a blog post for so long that the Grads are now among us and getting stuck into audit. I haven’t worked with many of them yet, but am looking forward to working with them and not being the ‘grad’ on the job anymore!

Audit’s been pretty busy since we started back this year, with jobs lined up on our schedules for weeks. My year group has also had to fit Foundations (previously known as PCE 1) study into the mix. So all in all, it’s been interesting trying to juggle work and study. However, the ‘year group’ advantage has really shone through during the past few months with my year group informing each other whenever we come across a useful or interesting article and helping each other out along the way. 

Being in the Social Committee, I have also been involved with the various social events that have taken place this year. So far, we have had the Deloitte Family Beach BBQ, where we got to meet some of our colleagues’ families over steak and sausage, and Round the Bays, for which we had an awesome turn-out this year. We have also recently had a combined quiz night with BNZ but photos have yet to emerge for that. So for now, feast your eyes on the BBQ and Round the Bays snaps:

Our Facebook page is open 24/7, so don’t hesitate to ask any burning questions or just drop by to stay in touch with what’s going on!

Cheers,
