What you can expect:

This one-year programme allows you to gain hands-on paid work as you kick-start your study towards becoming a Chartered Accountant.

As an Audit Industrial Placement student, you will:

• Get to know our clients, their businesses and how they work.
• Test checks and balances to ensure they work how they’re supposed to.
• Analyse the data that goes into a financial statement to make sure it is true and fair.

• Have a dedicated careers counsellor throughout the programme to help you during busier seasons, development and learning

You’ll be learning on-the-job and will be given access to regular training opportunities. Plus, your experience doesn't stop once you've completed the programme - you may be offered a place on the Audit Graduate Programme to continue your career development.

• Accelerate your technical capabilities and transformative leadership skills with future-focused courses and development programmes.
• Broaden your horizons by working on highly integrated teams across the globe and collaborate with people of diverse backgrounds — both professionally and culturally.
