Audit Intern KPMG Vacation Programme Review

Support varied on a person to person basis. I worked primarily with a final year apprentice and a few senior managers, however I was involved in meetings and projects with directors and senior directors. The insight and support I received was excellent. I was taught how to complete basic and slightly more complex audit procedures and tasks, I was given help and explanations for any tasks that I could not do. Some projects I worked on included billion dollar enterprises that were being audited, I was able to better understand the audit process from beginning to end.

It was insightful and fun, KPMG was very supportive of us and invested a lot of time and money in allowing us to excel. For example, we got to visit three of their offices in England and Scotland - giving us a better understanding of how a global firm such as KPMG functions. There were also a number of talks given by partners in regard to the various capabilities offered at KPMG, however, I personally did not think they were that insightful.

I have learned/developed a number of skills especially in excel, managing interfaces such as SAP/ SAP concur, developing technology skills using AI tools and internal analysis tools. KPMG also offered a number of certificate courses that the vast majority of interns completed in AI, Data analytics, Coding, and Cloud Computing (just to name a few).

It was inclusive and fun.

To a large extent, I found the travelling and working with different teams very enjoyable.
