Graduate Audit - Technology Audit London Autumn 2026

Job description

Why Technology Audit?

The world’s leading organisations are embracing technology at an incredible pace today. Given the growth of AI, robotics, advanced analytics and Blockchain, there are opportunities for businesses of all sizes to make leaps they couldn’t previously have imagined. It’s the job of our Technology Audit team to identify and mitigate the potential risks and threats that this fast-moving world can produce. As you’d expect, we work as part of KPMG’s wider Audit practice, which provides insight, challenge and expertise to some of the world’s biggest companies. We make a meaningful difference to those businesses and the wider community.

Life as a Technology Audit graduate

You don’t need to be a technical guru to join us. Our current graduates have degrees in a variety of subjects. If you’re curious, agile, pay attention to detail and have the appetite to learn about technology and the role of technology in audit, you’ll thrive with us.

You’ll be working as part of a larger team alongside colleagues in Financial Audit, with a particular focus on evaluating the IT systems that underpin an organisation’s key financial processes. Ensuring continuous improvement of audit quality, you’ll assess control risks (including code evaluation and system configuration), financial and operational applications, technology infrastructure and technology projects. We’ll also expect you to assess the cyber security landscape of the business you’re working with.

It's all about critically assessing processes and controls over data and, through the work, you’ll gain exposure to local and global businesses alike – potentially in different industry sectors. As a result, you’ll see a breadth of technology and be able to draw on the support of innovative data and analytics technology and tools. We also provide you with our global, smart audit platform, KPMG Clara, that delivers automated solutions.
