Technology Audit

The largest of our UK practices, Audit provides insight, challenge and expertise to some of the world’s biggest companies. We make a meaningful difference to those businesses and the wider community, by examining organisations and ensuring that their published accounts provide a true and fair reflection of their financial position.

The role of technology in audit is increasingly important as the world’s most influential organisations continue to embrace technology at an incredible pace. As businesses of all sizes and scales are seizing the opportunities brought about by AI, robotics, advanced analytics and Blockchain, our Technology Audit team plays a critical role in identifying and mitigating the potential risks and threats posed by advancing technology.

Join us on this programme, working as one team alongside our Financial Audit colleagues, evaluating the IT systems that underpin an organisation’s key financial processes, and ensuring continuous improvement of audit quality. We’ll equip you with the skills you need to understand and assess control risks across IT processes including evaluating the code and configuration of systems, financial and operational applications, technology infrastructure and technology projects. As a technology specialist, you’ll also be involved in understanding and assessing the client’s cyber security landscape.

You’ll critically assess the processes and controls that an organisation has in place to secure the data that moves through their IT systems. You’ll gain exposure to a variety of global and local businesses across one or more industry sectors, as well as to the breadth of technology used by these organisations. This is all supported by innovative data and analytics technology and tools that you’ll learn how to use, and automated solutions such as our global smart audit platform, KPMG Clara.

You don’t need to be a technical guru - our current graduates have degrees in a variety of subjects. If you’re curious, agile, pay attention to detail and have the appetite to learn about technology and the role of technology in audit, you’ll thrive with us.

On this programme you’ll complete the Certificate in Accounting Finance and Business (CFAB) in your first few months, with the option to continue your studies and complete the full ICAEW Chartered Accountant (ACA) qualification. Alongside this, we’ll support you to develop your technology, process, and data audit skills, all of which will empower you to build an exciting and varied long-term career with us. 

The work is challenging yet rewarding, and you’ll have the support of your senior leaders, engagement teams, peers and broader Audit community at your side to help you be at your best.

Our firm’s hybrid working model balances the flexibility of working from home with the importance of collaborating and learning in our offices, or at the sites of the organisations we audit. We trust our people to be where they need to be, with our colleagues working together in person as often as needed. You’ll be empowered by the technology that supports us to work flexibly across our collaborative office spaces.

Join us and be part of an inclusive team that’s supportive of individual wellbeing and makes a meaningful difference to the companies we audit and our communities. If you’re curious, resilient and agile, you could thrive with us.
