Reaction:

I have worked as a trainee in the consultancy KPMG office in Saudi Arabia, so I was attracted to read about the summer program in KPMG and how this program builds your knowledge and your skills about your future career and offers a good job when you join it. In my opinion this program is an excellent experiment, especially when I went to the clients and touched the real world of auditing. My recommendation to all of the accounting students in the last year of their study is to join any summer program in any consultancy office.
