KPMG UK Audit - Forage

Introduction from KPMG UK

Reviews

4.6

I really enjoyed working with real-life company data in the assessments. It gave me valuable insight into how raw company data looks in practice and provided an excellent opportunity to apply and develop my analytical skills. I also appreciated how clear and explicit the assessment questions were, as they made the tasks easy to understand while still encouraging critical thinking.

I liked that it used a proper trial balance and real audit documents instead of just theory. Working out which accounts were risky from the CFO interview and then actually testing the revenue numbers in Excel felt close to what a real audit associate would do. The bonus scheme sitting just under the materiality threshold was a nice touch.

I found the Simulation was very engaging & informative. It gave me a much better understanding of the overall audit process & helped me develop my analytical & Excel skills. I learned a lot from this experience & am glad that I had the opportunity to complete the Simulation. Thank you for providing such a valuable learning experience.
