We’re pleased to announce the John Jay/KPMG Forensic Scholars Discovery Workshop is back! Please consider applying!
What is the KPMG Forensic Scholars Discover Program?
The two-day workshop gives students a first-hand look at a career in forensic advisory services and an
opportunity to make contacts and form relationships they can use later on in their careers. KPMG
Forensic sponsors the workshop for the spring 2019 semester. Each workshop will start with an orientation to our practice. The program is structured to introduce
students to the fundamentals of four core KPMG Forensic service areas: Investigations,
Litigation/Dispute Advisory, Regulatory Compliance, and Forensic Technology. Through a combination
of interactive presentations and case study discussions led by senior-level forensic professionals, students
will gain an understanding of the strategy, technical approach and methodologies used by forensic
professionals in addressing client needs and providing solutions.
Each student will be paired with a KPMG Forensic mentor at the start of the workshop. Time will be
allocated for one-on-one discussions with mentors on topics under study and other relevant topics
including questions on careers. Read more
The 2019-2020 Ritchie-Jennings Memorial Scholarship Program is now open. Each year The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners Foundation awards over 20 of these scholarships and many of our undergraduate and graduate students have an excellent chance of receiving the scholarship. Please encourage your students to apply. I think it helps pulling your superstars aside individually to encourage them and also gives you a chance to complement them for their successes in your class.
