CASE STUDIES FROM THIS EMPLOYER FROM REAL WORLD

Steve Doyle - Real World Diversity - Sexual Orientation - KPMG

I had the usual stereotypes in my head that the City was a rather macho place to work and that I would need to stay in the closet. However, I found out about a gay recruitment event called ‘Out in the City’ in the summer of 2005 and decided to go along. I was really inspired by the people there ? my preconceptions were completely turned on their head.

Louise Cullen - Audit Assistant - KPMG

I am on the ICAEW training scheme and training to become a chartered accountant. I spend one third of my year at college and the other two- thirds on audit engagement. I work mainly with investment banking clients. A typical day could involve meeting clients and discussing their business, process and controls. I also carry out audit tests, and write up documentation and reports. Quite a lot of my time is spent engaging with clients.

Aveek Ghosh - Audit Assistant - KPMG

As an auditor, my job involves testing and investigating underlying records that constitute the statutory accounts for a company. I go to different companies, and gather information that is deemed necessary for my audit procedures.

Christina Bohm - KPMG - Business foundation programme trainee

I really enjoy the fact that I get to move around, because I love learning new things. Within CSR I enjoy the creativity of picking up new ideas and seeing what can we do with them. Seeing projects through from the initial concept to implementing new programmes is very satisfying.

Sonia Orchant - KPMG - Trainee Chartered Accountant

It's incredibly varied no two days are the same. It's also fast-paced. As soon as we've learnt a task, we progress quickly onto something more developed. We're kept on our toes. I enjoy that constant focus on new things. I also like always working with new people. Both the clients, and the teams we work in, change regularly, which makes the job very social.
