Do you have an eye for details and want to explore an exciting career as a professional in an accounting firm with a non-accountancy degree? If so, KPMG in Singapore has just the right programme to re-imagine your professional life and get a jump-start in the accounting industry!  The Non-Accountancy Graduate (NAG) Programme is a 24-month long curriculum for graduates with no accounting background to gain foundation knowledge of accounting and auditing, and eventually chart your career as an Auditor. You will onboard in July and spend three months undergoing foundation programmes that are fully sponsored by KPMG while receiving an allowance in tandem. Upon completion of the foundation programme, you will join the Audit function as an Audit Associate. Here, you will continue to undergo a tailored training programme for the remaining duration to build your knowledge and gain practical experience.
