Trainee Auditor 2019

Gus Ivey

Hello all,

Apologies if there is a thread for this already, but I looked for it and can't find anything.

Has anyone applied for this? Got an email today about the aptitude tests which will commence next week

milhous

Yeah. Results today. I don't have the information booklet anymore. No idea what this case study involves. 90 minutes of fun I'd imagine.

FenFlynn

I passed stage 1 as well. I've no background in auditing or accountancy, so have no idea what to expect.
There didn't seem to be an OoM with the result.

milhous

Yeah I just went for it on the back of having a lvl8/9.. No background in the field and I'm looking for a change. Maybe they'll issue some guidance in due course.

Gus Ivey

Yeah, passed the first stage and invited to do the Case Study, which sounds like an online test of some sort.

clarelnk

Just finished the case study, have no idea how I did! Wonder when we’ll know

Gus Ivey

Just finished also
Done OK on Q1
Could have done better on Q2
I think I answered Q3 and Q4 well enough

OutForTender

How long was it?

Gus Ivey

An hour and a half.

milhous

Took the full 1.5hours.. Felt like I couldve spent a lot longer on Q3. Q4 I waffled a a fair bit, wasn't so sure about figures. Q1 and Q2 seemed straight forward enough but I don't know if my answers were a bit too basic.

We'll see, seems like there'll be a bit of correcting on them depending on numbers that sat the tests. All in all not expecting to head through to the next round.

Gus Ivey

Anyone hear back re: results from the Case study assessment?

Or anyone any wiser to when we might hear back?

OutForTender

Everyone will hear back at the same time.

clarelnk

anyone heard anything?

milhous

Nope, but I'm just expecting a pfo anyway.

milhous

And there ya go.. Results are there. Surprisingly I passed but I only got 28 so not in the Frist group.

HungrySeagull

I got a score of 25 so won't be in the first batch. Quite surprised I passed, I didn't even finish the test.

Think there would be a second batch for interviews?

milhous

Depends on numbers going for it I suppose. Anyone with a background in finance or even sat the leaving business!/acc probably got a fairly gd score. I'd say we're on the lower level of results i.e winging it.

Gus Ivey

Got 25/50 as well. Didn't really get through too much of the last question as managed my time a bit poorly. Around what I expected. Wait and see if an interview comes out of it.
