1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

E0 Auditor in KPE - this involves going on stock takes, as well as working on clients. Daily tasks will be what my in-charge on that job assigns me, I'll speak to almost everyone in my team every day as well as speaking with the client.

10/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Fairly well organised, college dates are put into my calendar to make sure I'm not working when I'm in college, however sometimes I can end up being double-booked for different things or even not booked at all.

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

There's a decent amount of support we can seek. It's a very friendly working environment so I'd feel comfortable talking to pretty much anyone for support.

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

BPP are good with providing support I feel. I've only taken one exam so far, but all the support was there when I needed it.

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

The qualifications I'll be gaining are vital to my job role I feel. The exams I will be taking will provide me with the knowledge I need to do my job better.

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Yes there are quite a few, however, I would like to see more of different sports teams like football, even if it is 5 a side. There are lots of work socials as well which are really good for getting to know each other.

9/10

9a. Would you recommend KPMG to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

Honestly, just a great company to work for with great people. The course is also really well thought out and I'll be set up with a qualification that will be valuable for the rest of my life.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to KPMG?

Just be yourself in the interview process, do your research on the role that you're applying for but don't overdo it, the interview is about you.
