Hi Lochlan, it is actually really common for most people joining assurance and audit to come from a non accounting/finance background. My main tip would be to ask as many questions as possible during your engagements to develop an understanding of your accounts. This will enable you to understand how the accounts you are working impact the audit as a whole.

Thank you and do you have any recommendations of books or series that could be of use?

I don't have any book recommendations or series. Maybe just keeping up with the news through BBC news or financial times. But you are not expected to know anything prior to starting :)
