As an apprentice, how much did you know about tax/assurance before joining EY?

Assurance Business Apprentice

I knew nothing! I hardly understood what an audit was or what i'd be doing, there are still things Im not sure about now but thats all about learning. They really mean it when they say that you don't need prior knowledge, once you join it is assumed you know nothing and everyone will share their knowledge/experience with you.

Hi Jaya, I didn't know anything at all except for what I had read on the EY website/researched online. The teams definitely don't expect you to know anything and provide training from the get go
