      Auditing is not just about numbers; it is about training bright young professionals to understand how businesses operate, how businesses seek out commercial opportunities, manage risks and how they are then accurately presented in a set of annual financial statements. It is for this reason that audit training is an excellent business foundation for students with an ambition to become extraordinary business advisors.

      At KPMG, quality is critical to us in all that we do. We only recruit the brightest and the best people. You will learn and grow working alongside experienced and committed professionals as you undertake your higher level degree and your professional examinations.

      We are at an exciting time in auditing, where technology is changing how we all work. At KPMG, we are at the forefront of adopting sophisticated tools to make sense of the explosion of data in our market. As an audit team member, you will learn how to integrate technology in the audit whilst providing clients with the highest quality insights into their businesses.

      The Turnaround and Restructuring practice offers businesses in difficulty a clear way forward. We identify problems, provide analysis and facilitate in the development and implementation of business strategies.

      Our team of professionals advise organisations, suppliers and borrowers to help identify, evaluate and implement opportunities to restore stability and confidence, unlock and create lasting value and improve operational and financial performance to the benefit of all stakeholders.

      You will be working on projects such as:

      • Advising companies in financial difficulty
      • Formulating turnaround strategies
      • Insolvency appointments
      • Litigation support on contract disputes and claims
      • The provision of investigation services, including fraud, financial misstatements and misconduct
