Graduate Audit ACA - Intensive Newcastle Autumn 2020

Audit is the largest of KPMG UK's practices, providing independent challenge and delivering quality audits to organisations of all shapes and sizes. Audit requires a deepunderstanding of the company, their controls, processes and systems as well as their aims and the risks they face. Audit helps to assure stakeholders that published accounts are 'true and fair'.

Working in audit equips you with valuable technical skills, broad commercial understanding and in-depth knowledge of one or more industry sectors and business as a whole.

As a graduate, you'll have a portfolio of companies to audit varying in size, complexity and maturity. This provides a breadth of experience in an environment that embraces diversity and the positive impact it has on our business, companies and the community. From day one, you will build strong relationships, and gain an understanding ofboth the issues companies face today and the challenges on their horizons tomorrow.

One of our priorities is to inspire and develop your potential, we do this by making sure you have the chance to experience a rich variety of work, play a big part in our continuous improvement initiatives and taste life in our different audit functions. We also perform work on wider assurance engagements and have a large and growing internal audit base.

Graduates joining the Audit Programme will also have the chance to work in a specific business area whilst studying towards a valuable professional qualification. Additionally, all of our employees have access to an extensive programme of internal training geared towards your career and personal development, meaning progression can be rapid. From the start you'll be an integral part of a team, and throughout your training you will be coached and supported to manage and develop your wider team, together with nurturing relationships and delivering quality audit work.
