Financial Risk Manager | Nicosia | 9 janv. 2013
Enjoyed working with a fellow of the institute of Actuaries and learned a lot through my research in emerging markets.
During the summer of 2012 I took an internship for KPMG in the Financial Risk Management department.I had the opportunity to work very closely with a Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries and on one of the main projects of the department. My biggest project involved Solvency II and lasted through out my entire internship. During my time there I was in charge of a team of five interns with which I had to work very closely in order to deliver a project at the end of the internship on ‘Carlsberg in emerging markets.’ As the leader I was in charge of who would present the information and proofread all their pieces before giving in their final answers.
Regarding my work in the financial risk department I took the initiative to give summaries to each of my colleagues, regarding any important articles in the daily papers while one of my tasks was also to inform the offices at the headquarters of KPMG with any recent developments in Cyprus. On the days where my workload was less I checked the project on Solvency II until one of my colleagues was free to tell me how to make myself more useful.During my internship I emphasized my time more on how the team was working and networked with them. I can fit into any social environment and I used this to get to know my team better and possibly use these contacts in the future.
Points positifsvery nice working environment, friendly and helpful colleagues
