Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I work in national markets audit where we test the financial statements of different companies to ensure they give a true and fair view. My day-to-day involves working with excel mainly but also speaking to the team and the client.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I really enjoy the programme as it suits my lifestyle however, it can get stressful when doing the exams.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
My confidence has grown over the last couple of years for sure. KPMG provide us with opportunities to develop skills and share them with others
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
I know exactly what happens in my programme so I would say it is very well structured with a clear career path. The materials for the tuitions have been ariving late since working from home so could be better in organising.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I receive a lot of support as we have performance managers who are there to talk to whenever as well as my peer group. We also get 1 day study leave which could be increased in my opinion.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
We have tuitions and 'step ladder' to complete as well as practice assessments for each unit.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It provides me with better understanding of what I'm doing and the background of the industry (i.e. the accounts) so it's easier to question the client and understand what you're doing
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Yes, we have a netball club, socials and 6 CSR days given to us where we can use to work with a charity.
