To mark Volunteers’ Week, ICAEW Insights champions its volunteering community, starting with Olivia Carling, Vice Chair of The Chartered Accountant Student Society of London.
As Vice Chair of The Chartered Accountant Student Society of London (CASSL), and an ACA Audit Trainee at Sayer Vincent, Olivia Carling was elected to take students’ ideas within the society, help coordinate them and put the ideas into action. One of her ideas was to establish a buddy system among smaller accountancy firms to help with ACA training, much like the ones readily available to students inside the Big Four.
As part of ICAEW’s coverage of Volunteers’ Week, she spoke with ICAEW Insights about the project, and how volunteering has helped her from a professional and social standpoint.
