I really liked how realistic the simulation was. Working on the Ashbourne Industries case, especially the Order-to-Cash process, Accounts Receivable confirmations, and internal controls, helped me understand how an actual audit works in practice. The step-by-step tasks and client email exercise were very helpful.

Reviews
I particularly enjoyed the practical audit tasks, as they allowed me to apply my accounting knowledge to realistic professional situations. The simulation helped me better understand the audit process, develop my analytical and problem-solving skills, and discover the responsibilities of an auditor at KPMG.
The Ashbourne simulation proved to me that I thrive in external audit. Running actual fieldwork like setting materiality, resolving AR confirmation variances, and testing internal controls made the entire workflow click. Seeing how every single step connects gave me real technical knowledge and total confidence that becoming an external auditor is the right move for me.
