I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Petaling Jaya) in Sep 2018
Interview
The process took me almost 3 hours and it comprises of 3 parts in which as follows:
1) Written assessment.
The topic given is quite generic and it does not really require you to think through.
2)Group presentation.
I was assigned to a group of 5 people. We had been given a case study and had to discussed within 10 minutes. Subsequently, we had to present in front of the interviewers who are the managers of an audit department.
3) One-on-one interview.
I was asked about double entry and some other typical interview questions such as "What would you do if you encounter this situation etc". The questions asked mostly to evaluate your thinking and whether your personality matches to external auditor in their dictionary.
