What is Audit at KPMG?
Audit is the largest of our UK practices and gives us the opportunity to work with some of the world’s biggest organisations. We provide insight, challenge and expertise, helping ensure published accounts give a true and fair picture of an organisation’s financial position.
It’s work that makes a meaningful difference to businesses, investors and the wider community. If you enjoy understanding how organisations operate and solving problems, Audit could be a great fit for you.
Audit Vacation Programme
Our four-week Audit Vacation Programme gives you the chance to gain experience within a specific audit business area and discover what life is like in our diverse and supportive audit community. You’ll see the audit process from different perspectives, helping you build a broader understanding of the profession.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
