We'd like to see more of our new hires come in with experience in data analytics.- KPMG
Last week the Journal of Accountancy published an article called "What large firms expect from new accounting grads". One of the expectations they discuss is comfort with technology. From the article:
KPMG recently partnered with business schools at The Ohio State University and Villanova University to develop a master's-level program in accounting data and analytics. The firm will pay tuition and room and board for 50 students, who will have jobs waiting upon graduation. The program launches in fall 2017.
I'm glad to see the firms are starting to get really interested in combining the accounting and data analytics skillsets!
