Job description
The largest of our UK practices, Audit is about examining organisations and ensuring their published annual accounts are a 'true and fair' reflection of their financial performance.
In Audit, we undertake work that affects investment decisions, inspires confidence in public sector expenditure and supports economic growth. Some of the world's biggest companies rely on us to provide independent insight, challenge and high-quality audit expertise. Today, more than ever in disruptive times, audit is a function needed by society and in the future, to support growth.
We deliver robust outcomes by working to the highest standards. As part of that, we continue to invest heavily in tech-enabled solutions, which not only allow us to offer deeper insights and higher quality audits, but also a better user experience for our auditors.
As an Audit apprentice, you'll focus on delivering high-quality audits using an investigative approach. You'll learn to use new technologies and tools such as artificial intelligence and predictive analytics to analyse data and produce quality audit outcomes - all whilst studying towards a valuable professional qualification. You'll gain a breadth of experience as well as become equipped with valuable technical skills, broad commercial understanding and in-depth knowledge of different industry sectors - from the biggest multinationals through to innovative start-ups.
You'll have the resources and support you need to thrive with us and reach your full potential, learning to handle each audit engagement with confidence. You'll work as part of a team and may spend time on site at the companies you're auditing, in virtual or hybrid forms of audit delivery. From the start, you'll be working on complex projects alongside some of the brightest minds in business and benefit from learning every day.
It's challenging, yet rewarding work. There's also a real sense of community across our Audit team - we're collaborative and value the different perspectives and ideas that contribute to our shared goal of delivering quality work. You'll join an environment where you can come as you are, and supported to be at your best.
At KPMG, work is no longer a place we go, it's a contribution we make. Our people have always worked flexibly - so this way of working isn't new for us. We're creating a tech-driven business to empower and equip our people to be outstanding in delivery, no matter where they work - through inspiring collaboration spaces and new technologies. In your role, you'll work flexibly across your location region - at engagement sites, our offices and home. Some travel is likely for audit work and because the work is seasonal, you can expect a greater workload at the busiest times of the year.
Join us and be part of an inclusive team that's supportive of individual wellbeing and embraces diversity - and the positive impact this has for our people, our firm, the companies we audit and the community.
Capability: Audit Programme Length: 5 Years Qualifications: You will work towards the AAT Level 3 and 4 plus the Level 7 ACA qualification Entry Requirements:

Training and Development:
The training and development of our people is critical to the future success of our business. We want all of our Apprentices to embrace a growth mindset of learning every day, which is why we have created a rich curriculum and learning community to help trainees build their skills and fulfil their potential. This ranges from an immersive 5-day induction experience, formal training courses, leadership knowledge bites, learning journals, online courses and networking events - all aligned to our life-long learning strategy and part of our overall student package.
In addition as part of your KPMG Audit Apprenticeship you will complete the AAT Level 3 and 4 plus the Level 7 ACA Professional Qualification.
The KPMG Audit Apprenticeship uses innovative technology and is delivered via a blend of Online Classroom Live and Recorded courses plus in-centre classroom courses. This blended approach enables you to study and learn the content at a pace suited to your learning style. The structure of the AAT specific element of the programme spreads the AAT over 2 years of your training agreement so that you are able to build up your technical knowledge and can continuously apply what you are learning in training to your workplace experience through your apprenticeship skills and behaviours and off-the-job (OTJ) training. Then when you move onto your Level 7 qualification you will join our ACA Accelerated route which our graduates complete. This is a front-loaded programme which uses innovative technology and is delivered via a blend of online and in-centre classroom courses. The ACA Accelerated programme enables you to upskill you more quickly in the ACA so you can make your mark to our business. For the first portion of this training, you will focus purely on your professional qualification, by completing all but the final 3 ACA exams. It will also incorporate opportunities to reconnect with your home department and peer group, as well as complete internal training and extra skills sessions. In the remaining two years of your training contract, you will concentrate on building up a fantastic range of work experience, complete your final three ACA exams and will have the technical knowledge to apply to your role in the workplace. The entire programme is supported by a wide range of mechanisms that will be applied by your tuition provider (BPP) and KPMG's dedicated Early Careers Development team.
