I just went to apply for a job and the application asked if I’ve ever worked in an audit capacity at KPMG because the company is our client. Has anyone ever encountered this before? Do companies exclude applicants that work at their audit firm from their candidate pool?

Independence reasons. Can’t come into an FROR role

likehelpful

Not necessarily. There are cooling off requirements if you were on the audit team.

like

there is also a legal agreement that out audit clients won’t poach our auditors that is pretty standard

There might also be other non-compete clauses that could apply.

There are clients that will not hire directly from their auditor. Goldman Sachs/PwC as an example

Have you spoken with your office lead or reviewed the independence guide? There are rules about speaking to audit clients about jobs. Sometimes you have to get approval that you applying doesn’t compromise independence of the audit
