An amazing opportunity to be part of a new team, defining the vision for first-line independence support within the UK and protecting the reputation of the firm. 

In the UK, the relationships we have with our audited entities are subject to significant and complex independence restrictions. It is critical for the firm to navigate these restrictions accurately and efficiently to continue to build trust with our audited entities and clients. This is an area that goes right to the heart of KPMG’s quality agenda. 

In this interesting and challenging environment, we are looking to recruit an Assistant, in a permanent role, to work with a team of specialists who will be responsible for providing first-line independence support to UK audit teams, including non-audit service permissibility assessments, clearance reviews for audit targets and Sentinel tree accuracy. The team will be expected to provide high-quality advice and support to engagement teams. 

The Powered Apps teams are communities of technology focussed professionals who work together to deliver SaaS ERP based transformation programmes based on KPMG Powered Enterprise.

KPMG are growing their Powered Apps team to meet an ever-increasing demand for our market leading services and are seeking IT management consultants with relevant expertise and experience.

The IOGC is divided into three sub teams. This role will sit within the IOGC Corporate and Commercial sub team which provides legal advice on a broad range of corporate and commercial matters.
