Graduate Audit Programme

4 weeks ago

Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom KPMG-UnitedKingdom Full time
Unlock Your Potential in Audit

At KPMG, we're committed to helping you grow and develop your skills in audit. 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.

The work is challenging and rewarding. 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.

Capability: Audit Programme Length: 3 years Qualifications: ACA or CA equivalent (Scotland locations) Entry Requirements:
At KPMG, everyone brings a unique perspective, and we want to ensure that you have the best opportunity to demonstrate your potential. We want to discover your individual strengths and attributes to help us to know whether you'll enjoy working here and how you'll thrive. That's why we operate an open access policy and an application process that will assess both your qualifications and your qualities.

Generally, you'll be expected to demonstrate the following grades (*or equivalents), to show that you're able to successfully study for professional qualifications. If you are a few grades or points short, we would still encourage you to apply, as your application will be reviewed together with your performance in our assessments. You'll also have the opportunity to provide additional information for us to assess your application and potential in the context of your socio-economic background and/or any extenuating circumstances, which may have a positive uplift on your academic achievements through contextual recruitment.

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.
