KPMG UK Audit - Forage

Introduction from KPMG UK

Reviews

I liked that the simulation gave me a realistic insight into what working in audit would be like. I enjoyed analysing the data, identifying high-risk and material accounts, and using Excel to support my conclusions. It also helped me develop my attention to detail and understand how auditors assess financial information and risks.

Very practical introduction to fraud investigation. Liked how it broke down real EY workflows - from understanding the Fraud Triangle to analyzing whistleblower complaints and revenue analytics in Excel. The Globo Gym case made it easy to apply audit analytics and see how variances link to fraud risk. Great for understanding what Forensic & Integrity actually does.

I liked that the simulation was practical and closely related to what happens in real-world audit work. It gave me a good opportunity to apply audit concepts, analytical procedures, materiality, and professional judgement to realistic situations. I also found the step-by-step approach helpful because it made it easier to understand how audit procedures are actually carried out in practice.
