You and a couple of your friends are astute students at IIE MSA in the Engineering programme and have been requested to do an internship at Voltage Engineers based in Feather-Brook. The accountant has been diagnosed with COVID-19 as he has travelled to Wuhan this past summer to seek alternative suppliers. He has therefore not been able to complete his month end duties and the audit is due to start in two weeks' time.
