KPMG in the UK is part of a global organisation of independent firms
that offers Audit, Consulting, Deal Advisory, Tax & Law and Technology
services. Through the talent of over 16,000 people, we turn insights
into opportunities, making a positive difference for businesses, people,
and communities.
What is Technology Audit?
Audit is KPMG’s largest practice in the UK, which provides insight,
challenge, and expertise to some of the world’s biggest companies,
ensuring their published financial statements provide a true and fair
view of their financial position.
The role of technology in audit is increasingly important as the world’s
most influential organisations continue to embrace technology at an
incredible pace. As businesses of all sizes and scales are seizing the
opportunities brought about by AI, robotics, advanced analytics and
Blockchain, our Technology Audit team plays a critical role in
identifying and mitigating the potential risks and threats posed by
advancing technology.
KPMG Technology Audit Graduate Programme
On this programme, you’ll work alongside Financial Audit colleagues,
evaluating the IT systems that underpin an organisation’s key financial
processes and ensuring continuous improvement of audit quality. We’ll
equip you with the skills you need to understand and assess control
risks across IT processes including evaluating the code and
configuration of systems, financial and operational applications,
technology infrastructure and technology projects. As a technology
specialist, you’ll also be involved in understanding and assessing the
cyber security landscape of our audited entities.
You don’t need to be a technical guru to apply for our Technology Audit
programme - our current graduates have degrees in a variety of subjects.
If you’re curious, agile, pay attention to detail and have the appetite
to learn about technology and the role of technology in audit, you’ll
thrive with us.
Training and Benefits
As a graduate on our Technology Audit programme, you’ll complete the
Certificate in Accounting and Finance and Business (CFAB) qualification
in your first few months, with the option to continue your studies and
complete the full ICAEW Chartered Accountant (ACA) qualification during
the rest of your programme.
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.
We offer a competitive salary and a host of great benefits too,
including 25 days’ holiday, study leave and a day off on your birthday.
What’s more, each year you can take up to six days of time off to take
part in volunteering initiatives.
Our firm’s hybrid working model balances the flexibility of working from
home with the importance of collaborating and learning in our offices or
at the sites of the organisations we audit. We trust our people to be
where they need to be, with our colleagues working together in person as
often as needed. You’ll be empowered by the technology that supports us
to work flexibly across our collaborative office spaces.
Some travel is likely for audit work, and because its seasonal, you
should expect there to be busy times of the year.
Seeing the whole picture
As part of the Technology Audit team, you will be building friendships
and shared experiences, innovating, and learning together. KPMG is a
place where you can be yourself and give your best - whoever you are and
whatever your degree background. We look at more than just your
academic results and will also consider your strengths, values, and
motivations. If you’re collaborative and good with people, that can be
just as important as your ability to pick up key technical skills. See
the specific programme page on our Careers Portal for entry requirements
and our ‘How to Apply’ section for detailed application guidance.
