  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • Day-to-day I work with a team for a specific client and perform audit procedures. Throughout, the team is extremely helpful with answering any questions as they do not expect me to know everything straight away and demonstrate any work with an example if possible.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I enjoy my programme as, for example, people I work with are really friendly and always willing to help give advice. This helps to make the "office culture" seem less intimidating. The job itself can be stressful with exams on top but KPMG help out with allocated study leave.
