Audit Wales is recruiting graduates to a fully funded four-year trainee programme that leads to the ACA chartered accountancy qualification, with audit work done alongside study. Trainees audit the accounts of public bodies across Wales and take on more complex work as they progress, including value-for-money reviews and a six-month secondment with another publicly funded body. No accountancy degree or prior experience is needed, but a 2:1 or above, or a 2:2 with postgraduate study, is required, and trainees must work from the office at least two days each week. Visa sponsorship is not available.
