The Opportunity

Provide support to KPMG Law Partners / Engagement Teams by coordinating and managing internal Risk Management workflows/approvals required during the client/engagement acceptance process on behalf of the Engagement Team. This is a hybrid role with the required work hours of 9:00 AM EST to 5:00 PM EST.

• Ensure Entity and Opportunity information received from Lawyers/Engagement Team is correct, and proactively follow up for missing information and clarifications if required.
• Create new Entity and Opportunity records in CRM database.
• Ensure required risk management/compliance information (i.e. Know Your Client, Client Acceptance and Engagement Evaluation details) is received from the Lawyers/Engagement Team and proactively follow up for missing information.
• Process and submit requests in KPMG’s proprietary systems (i.e. IBS, Sentinel and CEAC) which facilitates compliance with Firm and Regulatory policies; follow up on outstanding approvals and investigate discrepancies.
