Real Experiences from Our Interns

“During my work placement in the IT Audit department, I’ve had the opportunity to develop both professionally and personally. From the outset, I was welcomed into a supportive team environment that prioritised learning and collaboration. The training sessions in general Audit and Information Risk Management gave me a strong foundation, and I quickly found myself contributing to real client engagements.

As I progressed through my placement, I had the chance to work on a variety of projects that broadened my understanding of audit processes. I became increasingly interested in how emerging tools, such as Copilot, are being integrated into IT Audit procedures. The exposure not only enhanced my technical skill set but also encouraged me to think critically about the evolving role of the auditor in a digital world.

Outside of the client work, the social culture at KPMG made my experience even more memorable. From the bake-off and mystery tour to participating in charity events, these experiences allowed me to build strong relationships with my colleagues and feel truly integrated into the team.

Overall, my placement at KPMG not only deepened my understanding of IT Audit but also reinforced my desire to pursue a career that blends technology with meaningful, people focused work.”
