About KPMG in Malaysia's Assurance – Branches
Audit at KPMG in Malaysia has evolved into a forward looking, insight driven profession that goes beyond meeting statutory requirements. Our assurance work brings together robust audit methodologies, strong analytical thinking, and the ability to navigate increasingly complex regulatory and business environments — all with a clear purpose: to deliver value driven insights that strengthen governance and truly Make the Difference.
Our Branch Offices Across Malaysia
- Penang
- Ipoh
- Johor Bahru
- Kuching
- Miri
- Labuan
- Kota Kinabalu
Play a vital role in supporting businesses and industries across Malaysia's regional economies. These offices work closely with local clients, offering Assurance services that are both globally consistent and locally relevant.
The dual segment of Financial Services Audit and General Audit structure allows us to tailor our audit approach to the specific risks, industries, and complexities of our clients, while consistently upholding the highest standards of audit quality and independence. As an Assurance Graduate based in one of our branch offices, you will be part of close-knit, collaborative teams that build deep sector expertise, gain meaningful client exposure, and contribute directly to high quality audit outcomes within a supportive regional environment.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This role offers more than an entry point into audit — it provides a strong foundation for a long-term professional career.
- Begin your career with a globally recognized professional services firm
- Gain hands on exposure to real clients, industries, and audit engagements from the outset
- Build strong technical audit skills alongside broader business and commercial acumen
- Receive guidance and mentorship from experienced seniors and managers
- Grow within a structured learning and progression framework designed to support long term development in audit and assurance
