Your curiosity could inspire quality results. The largest of our UK practices, Audit is about examining organisations and ensuring their published annual accounts are a 'true and fair' reflection of their financial position and results. The work we do in Audit makes a meaningful difference to businesses and communities. It is critical to the everyday working of society, helps build trust in the economy and supports companies as they grow.

It’s challenging work, but you’ll have the support of the KPMG Audit community by your side, supporting you to be at your best. As an apprentice in Audit, you'll learn how to audit businesses in one or more sectors, which could include big retailers, UK banks and multinational organisations – putting you at the heart of the world of business. You’ll also play a key part in our continuous improvement of audit quality. We strive to deliver robust outcomes by working to the highest standards.

This programme gives you the chance to shape how technology transforms the way KPMG delivers audits from day one. Throughout the programme you’ll work on real-life projects building practical skills while contributing to meaningful improvements in the way audits are delivered. Alongside this hands-on experience, you’ll study for a BSc (Hons) Digital and Technology Solutions degree, supported by coaches, mentors and a strong apprentice community. Throughout the programme you’ll develop technical, analytical and problem-solving capabilities that open long-term opportunities across data analytics, product innovation and technology solutions.

If you’re curious, collaborative and eager to learn, this programme offers challenge, variety and clear progression. The skills and experience you’ll develop during your programme will be dependent on the pathway and team that you join. Your office location will determine which pathway you are assigned to prior to joining KPMG. Apprentices joining our London office will follow the Business Analyst pathway. You will help design, build and support the digital products and solutions that enable KPMG’s audit professionals to deliver high-quality, digital audits. You’ll develop strong problem-solving, communication and analytical skills, working with product managers and engineers to gather requirements, refine user stories, test new features and support the successful adoption of our digital products. This role is well-suited to collaborative people who are curious about understanding user needs, improving processes and helping turn ideas into practical technology solutions that make our audit work smarter, simpler and more effective.
