Interview questions [1]
Question 1
4. Scenario questions:
You just joined a large project in KPMG (suppose you are an employee in KPMG). You need to review many documents and prepare report for client. It is a large volume of project with a lot of detail, electronic record, also many different sections. You find there is high risk error. You will work with other 4 colleagues and need to report to senior manager, who is responsible to present to the client. What will you do in this situation?
I went to the assessment centre which was the last stage in the graduate audit scheme. We first had an assessed group exercise (involving 4 people including yourself). We were given a topic and had to recommend which path KPMG should go down and then a partner interview which lasts around 30/40 mins
Submit an initial application then complete a monitored (video and audio) online assessment (Situational Judgement Test, logical, numerical) and strengths based video recorded interview. Final stage is an assessment centre in person.
