AUDITOR DAY-TO-DAY & JOB DESCRIPTION | What auditors do & why (KPMG, Deloitte, EY, PwC)

In this video I breakdown what auditors do on a daily basis, what the audit team is trying to achieve and the different stages of an audit engagement.

A career in audit is a very popular one for accounting students straight out of university and the Big 4 accounting firms (KPMG, Deloitte, EY, PwC) hire a lot of new graduates in the audit department every year.

If you're thinking about joining an accounting firm and considering a career in audit, this video will provide essential background before your interview.

Loving your videos so far! Can i suggest for a video on the exit opportunities of Audit? And things to keep in mind whilst shifting to a more interesting field ie TAS, deals (due diligence & valuation). Cheers

Hi! Great video, I was wondering if you can go into more depth with the different types of controls, in the video it was mentioned that you might consider a separate video for this? I'd very much appreciate it! Thank you :)

Hey, loving the videos. What are your views on deal advisory within the big 4, particularly KPMG? I am looking to move into finance after qualifying with ACA under KPMG, would this job role be suitable then for my goals. The two teams within deal advisory are corporate finance and transaction services. I assume corporate finance is the better of the two?

[HtheKing]

Hey I watched your other video where you said you saw people move from audit over to deal advisory. I just wanted to ask at what stage of their audit career did they move over? Would it be likely for someone on a audit grad scheme to move to deals after their first year of audit?

[truptipatil]
