About this listen

In this episode of the ICAEW Student Insights podcast, host Jag Dhaliwal explores what it’s like to work as a chartered accountant in charities and the public sector.

This episode covers:

  • The relevance of the ACA qualification to taking a role in the public sector.
  • How transferable the skills are between a traditional practice and the more varied experience offered by charities or jobs in the civil service.
  • The job satisfaction such a role can provide.
  • How to make an informed career move.

Jag is joined in the studio by James Yianni, Head of Finance at two charities – Medical Detection Dogs and Farms for City Children – and Evie Dolega-Ossowski, Senior Auditor at the Government Internal Audit Agency.
