I started my FFP journey quite early on, already in January, so I have had time to familiarise with the team and my tasks. I work as an Assistant Controller in Financial & Risk Control in the Business Control Solutions team in Large Corporates & Institutions (LC&I).
Since the beginning of my internship, I have been involved in quite many various tasks. The biggest part of my job has been to contribute to two projects where I have been investigating possible solutions and developing demo versions to get comprehensive understanding of what kind of options we have.
In addition, I try to bring new perspective and use my technical skills to recognize processes that could be automated, as well as carry out the automation. Furthermore, I also help supporting activities regarding knowledge and competence, and maintaining the LC&I Risk & Compliance training programs.
The icing on the cake
In my role, you truly benefit from having a bit technical background for example basic knowledge of SQL and Python, and of course everyone’s favourite, Excel. On the other hand, I did not have previous knowledge of power BI, -apps or -automate, but here I have had the opportunities and great support to learn those during my internship. Besides developing my competences, maybe the best part is to get to see how your work are being used in practise.
