I liked that the simulation gave me an opportunity to understand how a firm works and how audit work is performed in a real-world setting. It helped me gain practical insight into the audit process and understand how professionals identify controls, risks, and weaknesses. Thank you for providing this valuable learning experience.

The simulation gave a glimpse of what it would look like to conduct an audit. I have never taken a class on auditing, but I do have some accounting knowledge. I wasn't able to grasp a lot of the terms an auditor would use. I did find an interest in the subject while I was working through the program.

I really enjoyed the practical, hands-on approach of the simulation. Structuring walkthrough questions, drafting professional communications to the Audit Senior, and performing control testing on the Procure-to-Pay process provided a highly realistic view of an Audit Associate's responsibilities at PwC. It effectively bridged the gap between academic theory and real-world application.
