Job description

About KPMG in Malaysia’s Audit Centralization Team

The Audit Centralization Team (ACT) is an integral part of KPMG in Malaysia’s Audit practice, supporting the firm’s commitment to audit quality, accuracy, and operational excellence. As a key behind the scenes function, ACT plays a critical role in ensuring audit engagements run smoothly and efficiently.

• Gain hands on audit related experience within a Big Four firm
• Develop an understanding of the end to end audit process through operational and administrative exposure
• Work closely with experienced audit professionals in a structured, supportive environment
• Build essential organizational, documentation, and data management skills
• An ideal opportunity to build confidence and practical exposure before pursuing a career in audit or finance

• Downloading and organizing PLC announcements, Bursa monthly closing data, foreign exchange rates, and commodity prices for audit reference
• Project & Administrative Support
• Assisting on specific tasks related to ongoing audit related projects
• Performing general administrative duties to support the Audit department as required
