Graduate Audit Programme

Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom KPMG-UnitedKingdom Full time
Audit Graduate Programme Overview

At KPMG, we're committed to helping you achieve your full potential. Our Graduate Audit Programme is designed to provide you with the skills, knowledge, and experience you need to succeed in a career in audit and assurance.

As a graduate trainee, you'll work on diverse and complex audit engagements, learning about all the components that make a successful business. You'll apply a questioning mind and critically assess information that organisations provide, developing your skills to deliver independent insight, challenge, and high-quality audit expertise.

Throughout the programme, you'll have the support of your senior leaders, engagement leader, and the broader Audit community, enabling you to be at your best and build your network. We'll give you the skills, tools, and intelligent systems you need to grow and learn.

Over 3 years, you'll combine audit delivery and study to work toward a professional qualification, the ACA qualification or CA equivalent in Scotland. Your programme might see you working in a specific industry sector or across a variety of industries, depending on the office you join. In the final year of the programme, you'll also have the chance to gain experience in different areas of the Audit practice through our rotation opportunities.

After completing your qualification, the learning and career opportunities continue. You can take the valuable technical skills, broad commercial understanding, and in-depth knowledge of one or more industry sectors, to continue building an exciting and varied long-term career.

Our firm's hybrid working model balances the flexibility of working from home with the importance of collaborating and learning in offices or at client sites. We trust our people to be where our clients need them to be, with our client-facing colleagues working together in person as often as needed. You'll be empowered by the technology that supports us to work flexibly across our collaborative office spaces, building friendships and shared experiences, innovating and learning together. Some travel is likely for audit work and because the work is seasonal, you should expect there to be busy times of the year.

Join us and be part of an inclusive team that's supportive of individual wellbeing and embraces diversity - and the meaningful difference this has for our people, our firm, the companies we audit, and our communities. If you're curious, resilient, and agile, you could thrive with us.

Key Skills and Qualifications

We're looking for graduates who can demonstrate the following skills and qualifications:

  • GCSE Maths Grade 5 or B*
  • GCSE English Language Grade 5 or B*
  • 120 UCAS points* from your 'top' 3 A Level grades, excluding General Studies
  • 2:1 undergraduate degree in any discipline.


Training and Development

The training and development of our people is critical to the future success of our business. We want to empower you to grow in your own way, to feed your curiosity, and embrace a growth mindset in an environment where learning is continuous. Therefore, we have created a rich curriculum and learning community to help you build your skills and fulfill your potential. This ranges from an immersive 5-day induction experience to help you transition to the world of work, formal training courses, leadership knowledge bites, learning journals, online courses, and networking events - all aligned to our 'learn for a lifetime' strategy designed to help you gain an advantage for life.

In addition, in Audit, we offer the ACA or equivalent CA qualification. The Accelerated Programme is KPMG's ACA offering. 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 quickly, so you can make your mark. For the first year of your training contract, you will focus purely on your professional qualification, by completing 12 out of 15 ACA exams. You will also have opportunities to reconnect with your home department and peer group, as well as complete internal training and extra skills sessions. 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.

If you join a Scottish office, we support our equivalent CA qualification and therefore you will study towards your ICAS qualification. This newly designed programme enables you to sit the majority of the ICAS exams in your first year, provides you with innovative technology to support your learning experience, and also enables you to upskill quickly. You will also have opportunities to reconnect with your home department and peer group, as well as complete internal training and extra skills sessions. The entire programme is supported by a wide range of mechanisms that will be applied by ICAS and KPMG's dedicated Early Careers Development team.

For both programmes, in the remaining two years of your training contract, you will concentrate on building up a fantastic range of work experience, complete your exams, and will have the technical knowledge to apply to your role in the workplace. These programmes have been structured with you in mind and truly empower you to accelerate your learning journey at KPMG.
