thanks
sisichels:


for forensic, ITA, FRM and IARCS only
three stages
stage one : getting to know you. just tell dem ur name, school,
state of origin, discipline, interest, and skills,if you have professional certification u can add that too. two minutes tops
(my advice). answer as succintly as u can any oda question u
are asked. dnt waste dia time., why kpmg, why FRM, what is FRM, whats the relationship between your course of study and FRM and some scenario based questions, a bit of your final year project n knownyoue CV. Endeavour to ask a question at the end. smile a lot n as usual ignore the facial expressions while maintaining eye contact.

stage two: group case. u will be given an hypothetical case to
review, analyse and provide solutions to. in fifteen minutes.
den one of u will present in 5 minutes.
ds stage is a bit tricky. converse among ur group member b4
u are called. preselect ur group leader b4 entering. u may
look at d followin xtics
discipline ( accounting or related course)
spoken english
dressing
confidence
note: dnt compete negatively i.e dnt take ur group members
as ur competitors
speak out, contribute reasonably(dnt talk for talking sake)
and be willin to hear ur colleagues opinion. etc try to be active n involve others If you see they re not contributing. be time conscious.listen properly to the instructions.

stage three: individual presentation in five minutes
topics: contemporary issues like insurgency, same sex
marriage, unemployment etc. just give ur oponion for or
against in 5 mimutes.
my advice: say something sensible in three minutes and stop
talkin. chances are u will start blabbing after dt time
especially if its a topic u knw little about. maintain eye
contact and smile a bit.
be well dressed
comb ur hair, get a good suit, use perfume moderately, where
a plain or striped shirt( max of two colors) same for d tie.
good shoes etc, for the guys. for the ladies, a suit skirt with a nice shirt would do,no multi coloured shirt, black handbag would be nice
, a simple hairdo, light makeup, and sensible shoes with moderate heels. ur appearance matters a lot
overall, be calm.
pray, It's more important than all the studying combined together.
all the best.

For candidates scheduled for the AC next week. The presentation questions have been changed! You're given three to pick one out of which are;

1. If you had no education, what career path would you have chosen and why?
2. Someone in your team is not contributing to the entire teams effort and dragging you all back. What steps would you use in solving this issue with the non contributing team mate?
3. What quality do humans need more of these days and why?

Plus don't take it too seriously y'all. I met some of the most eloquent and precise people during my AC and still they were unsuccessful. Just do your thing the best way u can. Either way its an experience, live it.

Concerning the group task. Its a puzzle.
"A barrister owns a shop and has five regular customers that come in like clockwork. These customers order the same items everyday for breakfast. Your job is to find out what time they arrive, including what drink and food they ordered".
You have two sets of clues. Public and Private ones. You are not supposed to show your private clues (mine was 4) to a team mate and only read to em out. The public clues consist of three cards... one contains five time stamps 8:10 to 8:30, the second contains five sets of drinks and the third contains snack types that go along with the drink and items that the customers buy. All five each.
Now the issue is I don't know what KPMG looks for here but its funny that someone that actually placed her private clues on the table for all to see got a success mail. So basically screw em and do what u want.
For panel interview. They'll bombard you from anywhere. Asking scenario based questions about teamwork, best decision you've ever made? when has your integrity been compromised? where do you see yourself in five years? undergraduate project? link between your course of study and audit.. All that stuff. Plus don't mention passion for audit please.
Good luck in your KPMG endeavors brethren. Peace.

please don't screw them oh. it's much preferable to follow the instructions. first u re not the madam that placed her cards on the table, so dont try it. the group puzzle was actually the same as the one i did. now what do they look for, time management, team player n the likes.
I guess the presentation topics 've changed but then prepare your mind for any question, rest assured u would be given a bit of time to prepare, stick to the time limit given for the presentation.
and the panel interview questions are roughly the same, u can consult the earlier pages for more likely questions.
all the best once again.
