Responsibilities

  • On this programme, you’ll work as one team alongside our Financial Audit colleagues, supporting the audit in the evaluation of IT systems that underpin an organisation’s key financial processes, and ensuring continuous improvement of audit quality. We will equip you to assess the control risks related to the information assets, either in IT management processes, financial and operational applications, technology infrastructure or technology projects. You’ll critically asses the processes and controls that an organisation has in place to secure the data transacted through their IT systems. You’ll gain exposure to a variety of global and local businesses across one or more industry sectors, as well as to the breadth of technology used by these organisations.
  • The work is challenging, yet rewarding, and you’ll have KPMG community at your side providing the support you need to be at your best. We’ll give you the skills, tools and intelligent systems you need to learn for a lifetime.
  • You’ll complete the Certificate in Accounting Finance and Business (CFAB) in your first year. Alongside this, we’ll support you to develop your technology, process, and data audit skills all of which will empower you to build an exciting and varied long-term career with us in Technology Audit. We also offer the chance to gain experience in different areas of our Audit practice, through a rotation opportunity.
  • You don’t necessarily need to be a technical guru – our current graduates have degrees in a variety of subjects. Those who are curious, resilient and agile will thrive with us. You’ll have the motivation to get involved in a variety of projects and have excellent attention to detail. Most importantly, you’ll have an appetite to learn about technology and the role of technology in audit.
  • 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 fulfil 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 Technology Audit (IRM), we currently offer the CFAB qualification. The CFAB qualification is part of the ACA Accelerated Programme, which is a front-loaded study path that 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. You will complete just the initial level of the ICAEW ACA qualification, CFAB or the Certificate in Accounting Finance and Business, which will give you a good understanding of business, finance & accounting, and is highly valued in organisations around the world. The ICAEW Certificate in Finance, Accounting & Business (ICAEW CFAB) teaches practical skills and essential knowledge in accounting, finance and business.
  • In the remaining two years of your training contract, you will concentrate on building up a fantastic range of work experience and will have the technical knowledge to apply to your role in the workplace. 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. This newly designed programme has been structured with you in mind and truly empowers you to accelerate your learning journey at KPMG.
