Audit Apprenticeship - Scotland

As an apprentice you'll play an important part in supporting the continuous improvement of audit quality, working with new technologies like AI and predictive analytics to analyse data and produce great work. We'll give you the training and resources you need to thrive with us and reach your full potential and dedicated study leave to help you achieve your qualifications. You'll work on challenging projects alongside a supportive team allowing you to grow professionally and handle each new audit engagement with confidence.

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. Travel is likely for audit and because the work is seasonal, you should expect there to be busy times of the year.

Audit is challenging and rewarding. Join us and find a career path full of opportunities for learning and personal development. You'll have the support of your senior leaders, fellow apprentices and the broader Audit community by your side.

On this programme, you'll study towards the AAT Levels 3 and 4, plus the Level 7 ACA professional qualification or CA equivalent in Scotland. These qualifications are fully funded by KPMG and are supported by an extensive programme of internal training spanning both personal and professional development.
