Audit Semi Senior

Audit Semi Senior Accountants are employed within accountancy firms otherwise known as public practices or accountancy practices.

Audit Semi Seniors are typically studying towards their professional accountancy exams which are usually sat through the ACCA or ACA. Alternatively, some Semi Seniors sit their AAT examinations before progressing onto their ACCA/ACA studies.
Deciding which professional accountancy examination route to take can be daunting, indeed some Audit Semi Seniors find themselves changing routes part way through their studies.

In many cases Accountancy firms will provide study support or a training contract for their Audit Semi Seniors to support them through their professional accountancy examinations.

A study support package or accountancy training contract varies from firm to firm in its content. It could include the payment of examinations, time off to study including time off for examinations and resit examinations or even an in-house training team.

Audit Semi Seniors will, in most cases, undertake a wide range of general accountancy work within an audit department. This work could range from attending client premises to undertake audit fieldwork to assisting in the planning of an external audit.

Generally, Audit Semi Seniors will support Audit Senior Accountants otherwise known as Audit Seniors.

Once an Audit Semi Senior becomes an exam qualified ACCA or ACA Accountant they may, depending on the accountancy firm they work for, be promoted to an Audit Senior Accountant/Audit Senior level and enjoy more responsibilities and potentially lead some audits from planning to completion. Of course, how they have performed in their Audit Semi Senior job will have a huge impact on any promotion.
