Audit Apprentice Review

My day to day role consists of auditing different entities (this could be either through some sort of work papers which I would be assigned to complete i.e the revenue testing for certain types of income at an audited entity).

I have learnt some skills in relation to audit over the past year since I had started but this was through working and learning myself - you have to be proactive as it is harder when you are an Apprentice - you do not get acknowledged and trained as much.

I enjoy it moderately it is quite challenging than I initially thought it would be - more time on training and to focus on exams would be better.

I'd say fairly organised however when it comes to hard exams - there should be set dates that can be flexible around busy season times and extra study days left to complete this revision in rather than cramming in a lot of content and booking annual leave off last minute for exams.

I'd say there could be a bit more support that could be provided by my employer - it is busy and challenging but for apprentices there could possibly be a bit more development.

I do receive quite a lot from my training provider when it comes to support and closer to exams.

I feel like when you do the exams then you do have a better grasp of what you are doing as you have learnt the basic knowledge and can then continue to apply this in the day to day job aspect.

Yeah there are but these are limited.

No

It does depend if I am recommending it to a Graduate then yes but if it is another Apprentice I would encourage them to explore some other opportunities first before applying to a challenging role to manage here at KPMG at a young age in your career.

I would suggest that you are prepared to manage longer study hours and study days at times and sacrifice some time in the evenings to exams as work can build up after time and then is harder to balance out with studies at the same time especially when the exams are hard and intense.
