Audit

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 deep understanding 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 different industry sectors and business as a whole.

A sandwich placement is ideal if you want to gain a broad range of professional experience while working with an even wider variety of people within KPMG.

On our One Year Business Placement Programme, you’ll get both technical training and personal development opportunities that will equip you with the skills you need to succeed in your career. It’s all about gaining industry-leading work experience. Live our values and embrace our quality-first culture, and we’ll give you what you need to take your career from success to success.
