I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at KPMG (Perth, Western Australia) in Apr 2012

Initial phone interview asking why you chose KPMG and just to get to know you. Next step was assessment centre, group presentation on an issue and interview by senior manager of particular service line, mainly behavioural questions and questions using STAR model.

Question 1
When was the last time you were under time constraints? How did you cope?
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.
