Apprenticeships Audit - Apprenticeship Glasgow Autumn 2024

£23,000

Job description Join us on this programme as an Audit apprentice, you’ll work on diverse and complex audit engagements, learning about the components that make a successful business. Using an investigative approach you’ll begin to use new technologies to analyse data and produce quality audit outcomes – all whilst studying towards a valuable professional qualification. The work is challenging and rewarding, especially during busier periods – and throughout the programme you’ll have the resources and support you need to thrive with us and reach your full potential, learning to handle each audit engagement with confidence. Working as part of a team, you may spend time on site at the companies you're auditing, in virtual or hybrid forms of audit delivery. From the start, you'll be working on complex projects alongside some of the brightest minds in business and benefit from learning every day. Our firm’s hybrid working model balances the flexibility of working from home with the importance of collaborating and learning in offices or at client sites. We trust our people to be where our clients need them to be, with our client-facing 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, building friendships and shared experiences, innovating and learning together with your colleagues. travel is likely for audit work and because the work is seasonal, you should expect there to be busy times of the year. Join us and be part of an inclusive team that’s supportive of individual wellbeing and embraces diversity – and the meaningful difference this has for our people, our firm, the companies we audit and our communities. If you’re curious, resilient and agile you could thrive with us. Capability: Audit Programme Length: 5 Years Qualifications: AAT Level 3/4 plus the ACA qualification or CA equivalent (Scotland locations) Entry Requirements: At KPMG, everyone brings a unique perspective, and we want to ensure that you have the best opportunity to demonstrate your potential.

You’ll generally be expected to demonstrate the following (*or equivalents). However, if you do not meet all the below, and are a few grades or points short, then we would still encourage you to apply, as you will be given the option to provide additional information that enables us to assess your application and potential in the context of your socio-economic background and/or any extenuating circumstances. You can find out more here. 5 GCSEs* at A* – C or at 4 – 9 (inc. English Language and Maths at Grade B or 5), or for Scotland 5 National 5 qualifications at Grades A – C (inc. English Language and Maths at Grade B or equivalent) 120 UCAS points* from your ‘top’ 3 grades, excluding General Studies under the 2017 tariff point system at A Level (300 UCAS points pre-2017) or at Higher/Advanced Higher Level for Scotland.

This blended approach enables you to study and learn the content at a pace suited to your learning style. The structure of the AAT specific element of the programme spreads the AAT over 2 years of your training agreement so that you are able to build up your technical knowledge and can continuously apply what you are learning in training to your workplace experience through your apprenticeship skills and behaviours and off-the-job (OTJ) training. Then when you move onto your Level 7 qualification you will join either an ACA route or the CA route, details which will be provided at this point.

Additional Information: Annual salary, £23,000 (UK regions) and £25,000 (London).

TESTIMONIALS

Tom Lyas

We've worked with YP since 2015, when the company was founded. It was immediately clear that YP and Browne Jacobson shared the same values, ethos and purpose and that YP were the right partner to help us achieve our strategic objectives within the early-careers market. YP have significantly exceeded expectations when it comes to delivering school outreach and apprenticeship attraction campaigns - they've helped us secure high calibre, diverse talent time and time again. In addition, YP's ability to target under-represented student groups has been a critical part our firm being ranked No.1 in The Social Mobility Foundation's Employer Index for two years in a row. We can't recommend (or thank) Dan and YP enough

We have been working with Young Professionals for a number of years now and have been really impressed with the results they have been bringing in for us. They have been able to attract, source and recruit a number of students for some of our very hard to fill regions quickly and efficiently upon our request. They have bought us some very impressive targeted numbers to our office insight evenings and it's been great to see many parents and teachers join as well. The Young Professionals Platform combined with their unbelievable network of schools and students has helped us to enhance our brand identity to thousands of students but also to put us in front of such a high volume of females and diverse candidates at a national scale

We have just completed a very successful trainee recruitment season with the support of Young Professionals and have really seen a positive impact from this partnership. The results from our access accountancy work experience program have been very impressive with quality hires from a diverse talent pool fitting in well with our social mobility criteria. Dan is great to work with, very proactive, adaptable and approachable making things very easy for us. Young Professionals are leading the way in early careers support and opportunities for both students and employers. We are really excited for what’s next with our continued partnership with Young Professional’s the success yet to come from our next recruitment season.
