KPMG - Positions Are Full, What To Do?
Posted 26 January 2012 - 6:23pm by marello
I posted in this forum a few months ago after the rumours started that KPMG management consultancy positions were full. I was invited to the assessment day and passed before Christmas. I've been waiting for my Partner interview since then. Today I received an email telling me all the positions had been filled. I've been given 3 options. Stay in a pool incase anyone drops out, carry my application through to 2013 (this obviously would be a shame as it means a years delay on getting started), or apply to any other vacancies.
I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what to do?

KPMG Graduate Audit - partner presentation
Posted 8 January 2012 - 1:29am by Go9259
KPMG's website mentions it is only the assurance and one other department that are asked to
Prepare a presentation for the partner interview. However I have read that people applying for audit have to prepare a presentation too - is that the case?
Thank you!
KPMG - Difficult Questions
Posted 27 December 2011 - 4:53am by PigDog
Boys and girls, I had my first round phone interview with KPMG not too long ago. I really choked on the following question, and it has now been seared into my mind:
Tell me about a company thats performing poorly, and give four factors that contribute to its poor performance.
This completely caught me off guard, and I was only able to come up with 3 factors. Also, my interviewer asked me to explain how these four things can be improved.
I didnt pass the interview, but I thought the rest of you should know about this.
How is KPMG's audit function divided?

Simple question!
KPMG Partner Interview 2011/2012
Posted 16 December 2011 - 12:27pm by ok_cub2008
Can anyone that has had one in 2011 please describe their experience? What questions were you asked? How long did it last? Was yours formal or more of a casual conversation?
A point in the direction of existing threads with useful information would be helpful (bearing in mind the application process has changed for 2011).
KPMG - Positions Full?
Posted 28 November 2011 - 6:26pm by marello
Hi All,
I've just received my invite to KPMG's assessment centre for a management consultancy position. Whilst browsing this forum I've discovered other people stating that most of the routes are full. Is this true? I work full time and so really don't want to have to cause problems in my current work by taking time off for a job that doesn't exist!
PwC Risk Assurance (ACA) or KPMG Risk FS (CFA/CISI)
Posted 18 November 2011 - 2:52pm by md609
Any advice on the following would be much appreciated.
Basically, as a future science grad (2012), I have the following Big Four graduate offers in London:
PwC Risk Assurance (ACA) / KPMG Risk Financial Services (CFA/CISI)
Given that I have no background in Accountancy or Risk, which would you recommend? I have been given the impression that the ACA is very difficult and the CISI is slightly easier, but maybe slightly less respected? Is the CFA an option that I should consider?
In terms of PwC vs KPMG, what are your general impressions.
