I'm looking at applying for a job with a company that is apparently an audit client. I'm in international tax but wasn't really aware that the application would ask me if I was employed by the company's auditor in the past 3 years and if I have a financial or business relationship or affiliation with the Company’s outside audit firm or its members (partners, managers). I think the answer is yes to both. Will this cause an issue with my application?

Depends on your level. Usually managers and above will need to inform the lead audit partner on the client about the prospective job and that you are interviewing.

At the very least it will mean that they will need to vet you a bit more than usual.

Look at the plain English guide to independence page 11 - any professional is required to report if considering a role woth a restricted entity - even if you have not provided services. There are other rules if you are part of the audit engagement team (audits or tax)

It’s not an issue but it’s possible that the client will reach out to KPMG or people at KMPG to ask about your rep. I would assume once you’re further along in the process, the audit partner will be made aware you applied. Generally speaking, if the client is an audit client, you’re supposed to let the audit partner know you’re applying… I just don’t know anyone that’s actually done that
