KPMG? you applied for audit?

Deloitte, and yes i applied for an audit position, do u have any advises to ace the assessment tests and the essay? Or any sample tests that i can practice

this is my FIRST JOB and im so nervous and excited!

i dont think much can change in one day, there will definitely be IQ questions and basic numerical questions, just to test your general intelligence. haha. just go in there and be yourself!

Deloitte test is quite easy. Normal english grammar test and logical tests. Its really simple. And also an essay. Then it will end with a group assessment. Basically they will give you a case study and discuss with everyone. A partner from audit will usually be the one grading you guys for the case study. Some talkative some not so. If partners are not available, a rep from HR wil be there.

Then after 2 weeks you either straight get the job or will be asked for a second round interview. If second round interview usually will be conducted by the partner/ manager taking you in under their wing. Most proly just want to get to know you better. Lol.

Hi there,

Anyone mind to share with me how's the interview process in KPMG for audit associate position? I have been told by HR it will be a group interview session.
Your help is much appreciated.

p/s : i would be grateful if you could share with me the essay questions, group presentation questions, interview questions etc

hey! when is your interview and how long ago did you apply? i've been waiting forever for them to get back to me. sigh

Its in July. I applied in Jan. waited for so long already. But still there might be some changes to the date. It is so uncertain.

all the best ))

Hey mate, have you done your online test assessment?

Btw,mind telling me whether you're fresh grad or a grad with some working experience? i have applied for an audit associate position in KMPG and unfortunately, got turned down by them but i got an average of 73%.

I'm a fresh grade. Yes I've done it like 3 months ago. You can know your score? I dont know about my score for the test. So sorry to hear about that. Anyway, you can try the other big 4 firms. Cheer =)

just would like an opinion from auditors, would u join commercial if it pays the same?

Hello there. Just to let you know I too had a terrible results for my degree. It was really difficult to enter the Big 4 when I graduated. However, besides looking at purely academic reasons itself, the Big 4 do accept special cases too if you are able to showcase on what other strengths you can bring to the firm (i.e. willingness to learn, how you have learnt from your mistakes during degree days, etc).

Just to let you know, I am an ex-EY and PwC. I was also on the PwC recruitment drives and assist recruitment for PwC couple of years back. I've subsequently taken up a regional role with a MNC. Don't be disheartened if you do not get in. But my suggestion is for you to keep trying and applying. Perhaps one way is also to attend the career fairs and drives. Speak to the recruiters face to face. Show them that you really want the job by showcasing your other talents (i.e communication skills, enthusiasm etc). They do take in too if they see potential in you.

Good luck!

Thank you for the kind words and encouragement. Will keep trying and work towards it

Dear David,

Please stop lurking in /k/ during office hours or I will report you to the director to reduce your bonus coming end of this month.

Yours sincerely,
Your Manager

huh? whats this

Hi,

Want to tumpang a bit since this is a Big4 thread.

Im from the recruitment industry and is looking for someone who is proficient in Japanese for an audit position in the big4. Anyone who is open to find out more, i look forward to a PM from you guys.

Thanks.

No. Commercial's salary growth is generally very slow.

then how true is the myth that being a manager in audit automatically entitle you to a manager position in commercial?

I know alot seniors with 3 year experience, jump to commercial also can get manager position.

Got some with same amount of experience, jump to smaller audit firms also stay as senior only also got.

Is anyone here working+part time study? Can you manage it?
