Reviews

4.7

I loved how thorough and encouraging this simulation was. Having a video from real KPMG team members at the start of every task made the experience engaging, while the detailed resources and clear step-by-step guidance provided a realistic look into a full day on the job rather than just a quick snapshot.

"This simulation provided an excellent, realistic insight into KPMG’s audit procedures and everyday working papers. I particularly enjoyed learning about modern audit tools like Data snipper and applying substantive testing procedures to verify revenue recognition assertions. The step-by-step structure made complex concepts very approachable and practical."

Student, Parul University

This simulation provides a realistic end‑to‑end audit experience. I practiced audit working‑paper preparation, Excel skills including VLOOKUP/SUMIF, internal‑control assessment and substantive vouching tests under IFRS 15. The real‑world client scenario helps me understand daily work for audit associates.
