The KPMG visit was held successfully on August 8 2008 from 2 to 5 pm at Menara KPMG. It was organised by Sunway Student Services Department (SSD) and Sunway CPA Australia Student Charter (SCSC). There were a total of 46 participants that comprised of 43 Victoria University (VU) students, 2 course coordinators and 1 School of Computer and Technology (SCT) student. The course coordinators present were VU lecturer Mr. Teoh and a SSD staff. All participants gathered at the Sunway foyer at 1.30 p.m. except 6 of them who drove by themselves.
Despite the bus driver getting lost midway, the group arrived KPMG at 2 pm. The group was lead to a meeting room on the 10th floor after gathering at the concourse area. Mr. Ivo from Human Resource divided the groups into groups of 6 and they were asked to list down any queries regarding KPMG.
Popular questions asked by the students included: “What is the requirement to work/get the internship in KPMG?” and “How much is the salary paid for the fresh employee/internship?” Other questions were mainly about the criteria to work abroad, employee’s welfare, working duration and also the details of each department in KPMG (Audit, Tax, and Advisory).
The partner of KPMG’s advisory department answered the student’s questions and proceeded to present a short slide show on working at KPMG. It provided clearer answers to the student’s questions. The topic of the presentation was about “How to develop individual’s career in KPMG.” A refreshment break was provided at 4 pm outside the meeting room and students were given the opportunity to interact freely with KPMG managers from different departments.
Ms. Lim Synn Li and Mr. Ivo provided a tour around the KMPG office after the refreshments. The group departed KPMG at 5pm after taking from group shots.
Questionnaire Report:
Majority of the participants thought highly of the KPMG visit. They had a clearly idea on an accountant’s working life, current job opportunities, developments and innovations in the accounting industry after being exposed to one of the Big 4 accounting firms. They noticed that KPMG cares about their worker’s welfare as well as their work performance as the staff participates in many non-work related activities.

Could you answer,
1.“What is the requirement to work/get the internship in KPMG?”

2. “How much is the salary paid for the fresh employee/internship?”
