2023-1-9 - 2023-1-26
I formed part of the Old Mutual Ltd audit team and performed core audit tasks
during my employment. This included the full audit of an Old Mutual Ltd fund with the guidance and assistance of a senior team member which involved tailored audit procedures for the debtor, creditor, investment and cash account of the fund. It was very enjoyable to be able to put my auditing knowledge into practice. Further duties included administrative work and other generalized tasks such as setting up schedules and doing research to lighten the team members' workload.

The course taught students how to develop their so-called 'soft skills.' For example, one lecture discussed the attributes of an effective leader and communicator. Students were required to complete an activity wherein they assessed their own leadership abilities and any deficiencies they possessed. We were grouped together to come up with action plans on how to improve our skills.
Mark Obtained: 100%
The course educated students on the workings of artificial intelligence. This ranged from the development of an artificial intelligence system, its uses, the dangers it presents as well as the current legal framework in South Africa and globally governing its operation. As the final assignment, we had to select an artificial intelligence and evaluate its performance in answering a legal question. I selected Google's Gemini and evaluated its response on a question related to the laws governing parental leave in South Africa.
