Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

4/5

We are involved in the audit if the company we are assigned to. We may have minor tasks to begin with and then may progress on more challenging and technical areas

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

I have always wanted to do something in finance since i left school so when i landed this apprenticeship, it seemed like the obvious and perfect choice. I am loving my time at KPMG and they have been am absolute pleasure to work for.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

I have developed existing skills and behaviours such as communication as well as developing the acoounting knowledge I had from school days. I have also begun to learn new skills now such as indirect tax skills as well

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

3/5

I think it is very well structured and organised, however i do think the timelines and exxpectations of out courses could sometimes be communicated to us a bit better

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

we receive as much support as we need. If we choose to ask for extra support then we get it. They also make a concious effort to support our well being and general day-to-day life as well as our work life

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

3/5

We receive some support however there have been issues with receiving materials late. i think they support us to a point, however for certain tasks we could use a bit more support and explanation

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

4/5

I feel it is a vital part of performing our role. It provides the basis and understanding of accounting so that when we are required to perform a task on an audit, we have the basic/underlying knowledge in order to complete it

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

4/5

There are department socials, all colleague events and volunteering oppurtunities. there are also different networks which are groups with common interests etc and they have seminars and gatherings etc as well. So there are plenty of extra curricular activities to join and get involved in.
