Accounting Advisory and Assurance

On the Accounting Advisory and Assurance programme you will develop your skills and experience by providing businesses with a broad range of accounting advice. Depending on the team you join you could be supporting major business transactions and transformations or delivering assurance services on financial and non-financial information, processes and controls such as information relating to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting.

If you join our Accounting Advisory team, you’ll help businesses with a variety of complex accounting challenges, such as preparation of financial statements, mergers and acquisitions, implementing new accounting standards or regulatory changes, group restructures and delivery of training.

In ESG Assurance, you’ll help organisations meet the growing demand for clear and transparent disclosure of their ESG commitments to regulators, investors, and the public. Reporting standards are changing rapidly and you’ll play an important role examining a variety of data points such as greenhouse gas emissions, waste, human rights, diversity and many other non-financial metrics. You may also be involved in providing assurance over sector specific regulations such as ATOL, contractual compliance, and grants.

Joining our Controls Assurance team, you’ll assess how well our clients operate their business processes, helping them to become aware of potential risks and build customer confidence. You could be reviewing technology processes such as system access, data security and cyber resilience or operational processes such as investment management and payroll, across a variety of industries.

Whichever team your join you‘ll also have the opportunity to collaborate closely with other KPMG teams including Financial and Technology Audit, Transaction Services, Consulting, Corporate Finance and Tax.

The work is challenging and rewarding. Throughout the programme you’ll have the support of your senior leaders, engagement leader, peers and the broader Audit community, enabling you to be at your best and build your network. It’s an inclusive environment, where you’ll have the support and backing of a diverse team. We’ll give you the skills, tools and intelligent systems you need to grow and learn.

On this programme you'll study for the ACA qualification, or CA equivalent in Scotland, which will help you develop valuable technical skills, broad commercial understanding and in-depth knowledge of different industry sectors, empowering you to build an exciting and varied long-term career.
